The Google Phone Pocket Guide

The Google Phone Pocket Guide, 9780321620590 (0321620593), Peachpit Press, 2009

When asked whether I’d be interested in writing a book about the Google phone, I immediately jumped at the offer. Although I’ve been a dyed-in-the-wool iPhone user since June 2007 (the day it came out), the Google phone has piqued my interest from the fi rst day that I heard about it. Since the early rumors of a Google phone—or, more accurately, a Google operating system—I’ve been intrigued by the concept.

Most mobile phones these days (with the exception of Symbian-powered devices) run an operating system that the handset manufacturer made especially for it. Google bucked that trend. Instead, Google wrote a mobile operating system that was designed from the ground up for mobile phones and invited all comers. All handset vendors would be allowed to use the code on their devices. What a concept!

This handy Pocket Guide by mobile device expert Jason O'Grady will steer readers through the secrets to using the latest phones on the market incorporating the Android platform. Some of the common features across the phones are expected to be: QWERTY or touch-screen keyboard, Google Search, Web browsing, Google Apps, IM/text/email, digital camera, YouTube videos, music player, Android Market, and more. With this essential companion readers will be mastering their Google Phones in no time!
