Chapter 1. Meet the iPod: Out of the Box and into Your Ears in 15 Minutes

If you're like most people, you don't want to waste time getting your spiffy new iPod up and running. You probably don't want to wade through anything longer than a couple of paragraphs. Oh, and you'd like some color pictures, too.

Sure, Apple thoughtfully includes a little pamphlet of starter info with every iPod it sells. It's nicely designed as far as pamphlets go. But you may find that it doesn't go far enough. You want more help than a few line drawings and some haiku-like instructions.
