WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THIS BOOK

Most of the examples in this book run on the iPhone Simulator (which is included with the iOS SDK). For exercises that access the hardware (such as the accelerometer and gyroscope), you need a real iPhone or iPad. In general, to get the most out of this book, having a real iPhone or iPad device is not necessary (although it is definitely required for testing if you plan to deploy your application on the App Store).
