on iTunes you can get some video tutorials made by the standford university which aren't too bad - at least they give you a good introduction...

Those Stanford videos, while good, don't cover Core Data as iPhone OS 3.0 (the version at which Core Data was introduced to the iPhone) was still under NDA when they were recorded.

PragProg have two relevant books in beta: their iPhone book includes a solid section on Core Data, and there's also their Core Data book itself.
Apple's Core Data Tutorial for iPhone OS is actually very good indeed, and worth working through. I found it to be the resource that most helped me click into Core Data, before looking in detail at the above books. (Of course, it is also worth looking through the non-iPhone specific Core Data docs.)
Also, Jeff LaMarche (co-author of the Apress Beginning iPhone Dev) has been posting up a fair bit of Core Data content on his blog lately, including paths past some basic but not always intuitive iPhone-specific gotchas. It's worth subscribing to his blog while you're getting into iPhone dev.

The Pragmatic Programmers' books on Core Data and iPhone development both have great sections on iPhone-specific Core Data and are well worth the read. Apple's documentation on Core Data is some of their best, so I'd also suggest the Core Data Programming Guide: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/cdProgrammingGuide.html

Hi there,
Tim Isted is writing a book, "Core Data for the iPhone," to be published by Addison-Wesley. The first four chapters of the book are in conversion and should be available on Rough Cuts in Safari (http://safari.informit.com) very soon (either later this week or sometime next week).
Email me if you'd like more info about the book.
