100 Android Tips For Each of Jelly Bean 4.2, 4.3 & Kit Kat 4.4 by Saadat Wahid and Ahmad Wahid.

This short book will give the new user a great start with any Android device. The authors have written this guide to cover 3 versions of Android. Because of the scope of devices this guide applies to, you will understand the very core of Android. To cover 3 versions of Android is ambitious but the authors have done a very good job. This guide makes the reader think like a systems analyst as you learn the concept behind Android.

Each tip is introduced from the command line, followed by Jelly Bean 4.2, then Jelly Bean 4.3 and finally Kit Kat 4.4 - by which time you fully understand how the procedure works. This systematic approach gives the reader an understanding of Android from the ground up. You develop a love for the flavour and power of this amazing operating system.

The authors have done a good job and their guide is easy to understand. Their English and grammar give you the impression they are working in a call centre in India but this just adds to this book's charm! They explain that Android is the core operating system but that the device manufacturers alter Android to suit their product. Therefore the user should understand the core concepts of Android so that they can get the best out of any advice. Because of the skills employed by the authors, you come away from this guide understanding the framework of any Android device.

I enjoyed reading this book as it revealed the wonders of the Android universe. I think it is a good read that is far better than the trial and error used by many Android device owners. I think the authors deserve 4 stars for making life so easy for new Android users.
