A bit outdated but still very useful for the beginners - Esposito Mario - Redmond, WA United States
There's a LOT of content in this book and it is well organized. However if you're a strong hack-boy you probably will find new content only for the 40% of the book. It's a nice piece for your collection.

spectacular - Chris Van Riper -
I have always liked o'reilly manuals. This is no exception. Its set up for the beginner, but even a guru can find a couple of gems in here.

Iphone Hacks: Pushing the Iphone and iPod Touch Beyond Their Limits

Iphone Hacks: Pushing the Iphone and iPod Touch Beyond Their Limits Review

I bought an iPhone recently and was looking around for advanced information on the iPhone when I stumbled across this book. I was thinking this would be a book for novices on how to use advanced features of the phone (advanced from a novice point of view). But I was pleasantly surprised. This is a book for geeks like me. I just had to read only a few pages to find out that this is one awesome book. In a few paragraphs they explain the finer points of what it means to jailbreak your phone, what it means to unlock your phone, what it means when your iPhone is bricked.

As somebody else mentioned here, this is not a book for the faint hearted, but if you are willing to experiment and learn and unleash the potential of the iPhone, this book is your best guide. Here is the table of contents.

Chapter 1. iPhone and iPod Touch Hacking Basics
Chapter 2. Troubleshoot Your iPhone or iPod Touch
Chapter 3. Messaging and Communication
Chapter 4. Media and Data
Chapter 5. Game Emulation
Chapter 6. Telephony Hacks
Chapter 7. Unlocking and Activation
Chapter 8. Customization
Chapter 9. Network Hacks
Chapter 10. Application Hacks
Chapter 11. Development Hacks
Chapter 12. Hardware Hacks

Great Technical Book, but Outdated for 3GS! - David Michael - Hawaii
* This is a well-written 'encyclopedia' that covers some very important hacking Information & details of the iPhone, but does not include the latest 3GS iPhone Models. About 40% is devoted to the historical substance of Hacking your iPhone in a very detailed and informative step-by-step explanations, comparisons, issue topics, including 3rd party and open-source software hacking, but again, not for the latest iPhone 3GS.
The other 60% is technically geared to demonstrate 'real-time' Hacking of your hardware, media, network, applications, communication and development, again in a very detailed step-by-step process, for those technically-inspired Geeks, that operate in their own Virtual World.
Just remember that THERE IS a Huge difference between SOFTWARE Hacking versus HARDWARE Dis-assembly!
I would love to see a follow-up "Hacking Software Guide" for the 3 GS iPhone, in the near future.

Great book, However, Outdated. - Joshua Delaughter - Lafayette, Louisiana
Bought this book and was really excited to read into it. Upon reading I was amazed by the level of detail, I was expecting a dumbed down book about some apps that are "hack"-like apps, but I was wrong. Full of detail about the iPhone's file system etc etc.

The only problem about it is that it is a little bit outdated. It covers information for the older iPhones(pre 3GS) therefore some of the jailbreaking info doesn't apply.

With that said great book to get in-depth information and knowledge of the REAL iPhone.
