Hi Ibrahim, Re IPhone replacing the computer for a lot of people - this has so much potential. I think for people who have no need for serious editing of documents, spreadsheets etc, who mainly want to communicate and use the web an IPhone/IPod/IPad is a wonderful tool for a much reduced cost compared to that of a PC and screen reader. I think the price of £10 sounds perfectly reasonable but I wouldn't go higher than that, not that I don't think it's worth it, but these days people won't pay more I believe. As for whether the market needs it...I don't really know, as I haven't looked for books/pamphlets on the subject lately. But I do know that there are plenty of people I come across in my work for a local charity who could do with some in depth information on the IPhone and how to use it. I am talking about people who may have some basic typing skills and general ideas of what can be done on a computer but not much computer skills or understanding of concepts such as apps, icons etc. Depending on who your target audience is, it sounds like your pamphlet could help these people. When I get an upgrade in December, and can therefore afford an IPhone, I will try to put together some audio to help the types of people I'm talking about. Ideally I would love to see a package of audio, text and diagrams similar to the Windows guides by Sarah Morley. If there is such a thing I apologise for being out of touch but it seems to me there are great podcasts for computer-literate people but a gap in the market for non-computer literate people, especially older people, who could nonetheless really benefit from the use of the IOS devices. Even if you don't want to target the types of people I mention, I think anything explaining the usefulness of the IOS devices and giving practical examples will be a good thing.
