Free PDF Packed with iPhone Tips, Tricks, and How-To Goodness

Do you know how to get the most out of your iPhone? Can you use it as a flash drive? Convert music to ringtones? Extend your battery life? Your iPhone has so much potential that odds are good you're only tapping a small part of what it can do. That's why I was jazzed to run into The Unofficial Guide to the iPhone (PDF).


This 40-page ebook comes to you courtesy of MakeUseOf, which actually offers a whole bunch of similar PDFs, such as Windows Mobile, Photoshop, Linux, buying a laptop, and more.

You'll find all sorts of handy information about your iPhone here, including:

  • How to disable your data connection when you travel abroad without an international data plan.
  • How to add event notification to the standby screen.
  • How to take screen shots of the iPhone (press the Home and power buttons simultaneously, by the way).
  • How to turn on the scientific calculator (rotate the calculator to landscape mode).
  • How to sync your iPhone with multiple iTunes libraries.
  • How to share an app with another iPhone.
... and, as they say, much, much more.

While you're busy educatin' yourself with iPhone stuff, don't forget about the free iPhone app packed with presentation tips. [via MakeUseOf]
