Description
Much more than a simple MP3 player, Apple's iPod now includes software for keeping track of personal contacts, viewing appointments, reading notes, and even playing games. Now readers can find everything needed to use the most obscure and least documented features of Apple's software with Hacking iPod and iTunes. It reveals the secrets of more than 100 hacks, tweaks and mods, unlocking both the musical and non-musical tricks in the iPod's repertoire.
