"One of the issues when developing a book like this, is that it gets outdated quickly. Whats nice is that Hockenberry has updated the code samples to work with iOS4 as of this writing. It should also be noted that affects all authors writing about Apple's iOS: because of Apple's NDA, they cannot write about the most current version. It's great that the sample downloads are updated!"
