If you are thinking of getting a droid phone or just got one and have no idea how to use it, this book is worth reading. Even if you know more, it's still worth a quick read as it has some good ideas for apps to download, but otherwise it may be a little too basic. At the end there are some resources for developing your own apps that are worth further research.

Useful only for those who never used a Smartphone

Since I wrote this book, I'm going to say it's the best book ever.
