Book description
The iPad is cute, lovable, fun to play with, and a bit mysterious. This second edition of the best-selling My New iPad removes the mystery, showing every user how to get more from their new iPad. This simple, patient, and complete guide to the iPad shows readers, step-by-step, how to do what they want to do right away, like surf the Internet, send email, listen to music, take notes, read ebooks, and play with photos. Wallace Wang, bestselling author of My New Mac and My New iPhone, walks readers through the iPad's many useful features, like using the Maps app and compass; shopping on iTunes and the iBook Store; customizing the iPad's appearance; setting parental controls and privacy; editing Office documents; and getting organized with the Notes, Calendar, and Contacts apps. This revised second edition covers all the new features of iOS 4, including multitasking, folders, printing, and more.
