Review
The Nexus One manual (pdf only) is very good as far as smart phone manuals go. Even so, The Nexus One Pocket Guide is very worthwhile. O’Grady offers lots of tips and tidbits that are not the in the manual. The Pocket guide is an enjoyable read and no matter how intuitive the Android OS is, you WILL learn things you don’t know. O’Grady is a very gifted technical writer and has created a guide that does more just rehash the manual. If you recently got a Nexus One (or any Adroid phone) get this book!
About the Author
Jason D. O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa, and this affinity turned into a bona-fide obsession when he got the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984.
He started writing one of the first Web sites about Apple (O'Grady's PowerPage; www.powerpage.org) in 1995 and is considered to be one of the fathers of blogging. He has been a frequent speaker at the Macworld Expo conference and a member of the conference faculty.
After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006, he set the precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the First Amendment as members of the mainstream media. O'Grady is also the author of The Droid Pocket Guide, The Google Phone Pocket Guide, and The Garmin nüvi Pocket Guide (Peachpit Press), the author of Corporations That Changed the World: Apple Inc. (Greenwood Press), and a contributor to The Mac Bible (Peachpit Press). In addition, he has contributed to numerous Mac publications over the years. When he's not writing about Apple for ZDNet at The Apple Core (http:// blogs.zdnet.com/Apple), he enjoys spending time with his family in New Jersey.
