"Great Resource For Beginnings" - by scuzzyxzero on 10-APR-2010

Lots of good up to date info for the Motorola Droid devices.  Reads much better than the manual and has extra tips and tricks that someone new to the device may not know such as the suggested apps and how to save your battery life.  If you are fairly familiar with the device this books deserves at least a good thumb through.  If you are looking for more uncommonly or advanced information you may want to keep looking but this is great for new to the Droid.

While more advanced users will find a few new gems, this book is perfect for folks new to Droid. Topics are covered clearly and without assuming prior knowledge of Android OS.
