Chapter 6. Keep in Touch with Email and Messaging
You’ll learn to:

Send and receive text messages
Use Twitter with iPad apps
EMAIL IS PART OF everyday life, and being able to compose, send, and receive mail on mobile phones means you can be on the go and still stay in touch, even if that means hunching over a smartphone, squinting and pecking on a tiny screen.
The iPad changes all that. Now, you can lean back on your couch, flip on the tablet, and read and write mail on a spacious 10-inch screen. No more terse, abbreviated messages inspired by a cramped keypad. This chapter gives you a tour of the iPad’s email program, from setting up your mail accounts to hitting the Send button on that first message.
And if email doesn’t give you the immediate gratification you seek for your communications needs, the iPad comes equipped to use Messages, the app that works with Apple’s free iMessage service for instantly sending text, photos, and videos to other iOS users, and Twitter—the ubiquitous microblogging service. You’ll learn about those in this chapter, too. And when you’re done checking your mail and messages, you can enjoy movies, music, and that new best-seller with just a tap—and you don’t even have to leave the couch.
