The iPhone jailbreak bible - iOS Hacker's Handbook - will be on sale in the Amazon Bookstore (snigger) on Monday April 30.
The book has been available for pre-order for some months, but Amazon has just billed it as "in stock on April 30", so presumably that's when pre-orders will be sent out. That's in the US Amazon store. It's still billed as "not yet released" in the UK store.
Among the credited authors are iOS security expert Charlie Miller and Stefan Esser, better known as i0n1c to jailbreakers. The iPhone Dev Team's MuscleNerd is credited as the book's Tech Editor.
iOS Hacker's Handbook is $28.94 in the US store and pre-order £19.49 in the UK store.
