My latest book for O'Reilly Media, Best iPhone Apps, is back from the printer and should hit bookshelves next week (starting July 28). I'm really excited about this one for all the reasons I described here. The iPhone is already fast making changes in the way that we personally relate to information and our immediate environment, but at the same time, lots of iPhone owners haven't begun to tap the potential of their glossy gadgets. This book and its online sidekick, the Best iPhone Apps website, aims to help.

With over 65,000 iPhone apps to choose from, there's a mind-boggling number of ways to make your favorite device do just about anything you can imagine—and almost certainly a few things you would've never thought of. So while it's not hard to find apps for your iPhone or iPod Touch, it's frustratingly difficult to find the best ones.

Best iPhone Apps guides the way, shining the light on over 200 gee-whiz apps that delight, empower, and entertain. I stress-tested thousands of titles from the App Store emporium to hand-pick apps that will make the biggest difference in every aspect of your life: at work, on the town, at play, at home, and on the road.

Capitalize on your time with genius productivity apps, or fritter it away with deliriously fun games. However you use your iPhone or iPod Touch, Best iPhone Apps shows you how to unlock its full potential and make the most of your glossy gadget.

And be sure to check in daily at the book's companion site at iphoneapps.oreilly.com for daily reviews plus the App Smackdown, where you can vote in a head-to-head deathmatch between two similar apps—currently it's Things vs OmniFocus in the to-do list category.
