The best so far! - By: Mr. Wayne Pascoe, 11 Dec 2008 
After being thoroughly disappointed with Erica Sadun's contribution to the iPhone development book scene I stumbled on this gem.
The writing style is fantastic, & the way it is put together works very well for teaching - at each stage you learn things & they seem to stick. The way it progresses & builds on the knowledge you have works very well, & I really enjoyed all the tips & tricks the droppedin for Xcode & Interface builder - I've been using these tools for traditional OS X development for a few years now & still learned a lot.
About the only thing I could ask for from this book is 'more' - just keep going instead of ending :)
The best book on the iPhone development so far - By: Alexander Kolesnikov, 10 Dec 2008 I've got all the books on the iPhone development that were published so far, & this one is definitely the best. The authors' style is unique, I am tempted to say that style-wise this might be the most enjoyable book on software development I've readin my life.
The book presents a lot of material, it is definitely sufficient to start developing for the platform for a complete novice to iPhone or Mac development like myself. What is cool is that the book feeds its knowledge with exactly the right pace. Well, sometimes that feels a bit slow, but you do feel confident all the way along, & the authors encourage you to go faster if you wish.
Regarding the language: I am new to the Objective-C, still remember a few bits & pieces from C & I work professionally with Java & C#. I want to say that I had absolutely no difficulties with understanding this book, but recently I've read a few chaptersin various books on Mac programming, so I had an idea of the Objective-C syntax.
I was so impressed with this book that ordered another two of this 'citrus' series that are coming soon, on learning C & Objective-C on the Mac.
Lovely Writing Style and Very Informative - By: Mr. S. G. Wolf, 07 Dec 2008 Dave & Jeff have a very relaxed writing style (perhaps even more so that Aaron Hillegass) & the book reads as if they are actually talking you through the process. The result is something which is very readable & easy to follow & the concepts behind the code are clearly & well explained.
The only thing I feel worth warning people about is that if you have no prior experience of Objective-C or Cocoa then you may be a bit lost & so I'd recommend at least a good introductory book. I believe that Apress have some coming out soon so they may be worth a look.
