The first chapter is somewhat useful, but the rest is pointless. The majority of the book is very basic "this is how you start a business" and not at all specific to an iPhone business. For example, there are large sections of the book dedicated to creating a business plan or finding a niche. While these things are critically important they are covered too broadly to be of any use. All of the technical info ("how to submit an app to the app store", "what development tools will I need?") is covered in depth online and in Apple's documentation.

Read the first chapter and skip the rest.

Gave me enough of the basics, in the easy-to-skip-large-sections format that we all love and are now used to. Helpful to get started...

Useful but not all encompassing
