July has proved to be a very productive month indeed! Our website has been up and online 99% of the time despite heavy traffic; we've taken on board several new and high-spirited writers with creative ideas; and we've published not one, not two but three PDF manuals!
Karl helps beginners find their way around a tricky device, and teaches advanced tricks to seasoned users in the Windows Mobile Guide. Stefan, whose name is now beginning to sound very household, reveals the secrets to building your own Media Center; and lays the groundwork to master your iPhone. If you haven't checked out these PDF manuals, go ahead! They're all free to download without any strings attached.
Simon Slangen is our PDF Manual Editor, so if there are any subjects you would like to see turned into a downloadable PDF manual, enter your ideas in the comments below or send him an email at simon@makeuseof.com. You may also find the past manuals here.
Right, let's get down to the stories MakeUseOf dished out in July, shall we?
