New ebook shows iPod users a dozen ways to extend the iPod’s
capabilities beyond playing music.

Ithaca, NY USA (April 30, 2007) — Much has happened in the iPod
world of late, and for anyone who wants to use an iPod for more than
just playing music, Take Control Books has published the second
edition of “Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music,” by
gadget-wizard Steve Sande. Almost completely rewritten, the 134-page
book covers the latest in iPod technology, explains the basics for
new users, and helps everyone find more practical (and fun) uses for
their iPods. Sande does cover the basics of iPod use, such as
charging, moving music to an iPod, and troubleshooting, but he also
examines a dozen other major iPod uses, ranging from reading email
and RSS feeds to running Keynote and PowerPoint presentations. The
ebook may be purchased for $10 from

“Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music” leads with colorful
comparison charts of the various iPod models to help readers figure
out which of the many iPod models they own, since many iPod uses work
only on certain models. After a brief look at charging, syncing, and
troubleshooting, the book jumps into the many things you can do with
an iPod, including obvious uses like listening to podcasts, watching
video downloaded from the Internet, and exercising with the Nike+iPod
Sport Kit. But the real fun comes in putting an iPod to less obvious
uses like recording lectures or podcast interviews, reading
text-based electronic books, and displaying maps.
