iPhone & Irony
I think it's pretty funny that when you search for my name on Amazon you get the following two entries:



Elves and iPhones. Hmm. And separated by precisely one year.



The iPhone book continues. It's a lot of work. It's the most concentrated tech writing that I've done since I worked at Sun in 1997-1998 when I wrote and edited a whole series of technical documents for the network division of the solutions center.

This work has been stressful, because the technology is changing week by week. We're also on a short deadline, balancing new writing and response to current reviews. I think we're going to get a good book out of it, but I'm looking forward to things being easier next month when this book is at least completely drafted.

Our publisher is having a pre-order sale for anyone who picks up the book before the release of the iPhone 3G next week.

Just curious, do you get a new iPhone out of this?

Probably not, but mine will do even without the 3G, and since that was just handed to me one day, I ain't going to complain.

I am tempted to order your iPhone book, but don't have much of a programmer's way of looking at things. Perhaps after I get my iPhone I'll come up with a "killer" app that no one else has built yet and get it then!
