Apple’s rapid pace of updates has slowed in recent months; the second half of 2008 will most likely be different.  \nWhen we published last year’s edition of The Free iPod + iPhone Book, several things were obvious: the iPhone was set to expand Apple’s place in pockets, Apple TV had the potential to bring the company into living rooms, and the iPod family was about to get bigger and cooler. We-and most Apple fans-were enthusiastic about the company’s growth, tempered only by concerns over the new devices’ pricing and performance.  \nFrankly, even we were surprised by what has happened since then. Though strong in the aggregate, iPod sales have leveled off after climbing steadily for years. The iPhone only started to sell out internationally when supplies were cut or prices were slashed. And Apple TV? It didn’t take a genius of Steve Jobs’ caliber to recognize that it had missedits mark and needed a major update plus a price drop, neither apparently enough. Now months have passed with few developmentsand little excitement-even the accessory market has all but come to a standstill.  \nRegardless, we’ve carried on doing what we love, and the result is The Free iPod + iPhone Book 4, a sequel to last year’s million-plus downloaded tutorial to all things iPod and iPhone. This year, we’ve streamlined the Book to focus on helping readers make the most of the latest Apple devices-and iTunes-without having to sort through as much material on discontinued iPods and software. If you’re still using them, past editions of the Book are still available with older iPod and iTunes tips, as are the [iLounge.com](iLounge.com) web site and forums for plenty of help with what’s come before.  \nWe expect major news in the coming months, including a broad international rollout of the new iPhone, major new iPod releases, and of course, many new accessories. On behalf of the editors of iLounge, I hope that you enjoy the new Book, and we’ll see you in November to show off what’s new in our Buyers’ Guide!  \ndennis Lloyd  \nPublisher  \nJeremy horwitz  \neditor-in-Chief  \nDennis Lloyd ([dennisl@ilounge.com](dennisl@ilounge.com)) was a graphic designer and DJ before creating iLounge, the world’s most popular and comprehensive resource for iPod, iPhone, and iTunes users.
