Strength
This book is one of the early books on the iPhone SDK. I would not call it 'the book' for SDK development - but this has a tonnes of tips that no other book has ever discusses (for example detecting the IP address of the device on the WiFi network). The author has spent countless hours researching the iPhone. Connectivity is discussed in depth (connectivity is simple if you are familiar with Unix sockets and network programming)
Weakness
iPhone SDK's strength lies in the capability to support rapid user interface development without much of pain. MVC paradigm is one of the stronghold of Apple. It is far more superior than any of the SDKs available for a mobile platform. However this book does not talk much about the MVC paradigm and its strength.
For Whom
For people looking for tips and tricks on the SDK development
