It looks different. It acts different. There's no right way to hold it.
It responds to the touch of your fingertips. It's the Internet in your
lap. It connects to the world, yet it is as personal as a well-worn
book.
Taking Your iPad to the Max is written so that anyone, from a
computer-savvy teenager to a 92-year-old great-grandmother, can quickly
get up to speed on Apple's latest hit. As bloggers at The Unofficial
Apple Weblog (tuaw.com), we have the happy privilege of working with
Apple products every day. The iPad is so different from any computer
you've ever used, and we realize many people could use a helping hand,
to feel comfortable buying and using an iPad. We take you from selecting
and buying an iPad, to connecting it to the Internet, and then
demonstrate just how to use the incredible power of the iPad and all its
apps to enhance your life.
Whether you're using your iPad to surf the Internet, admire family
photos, listen to music, watch movies, or read a book, we're here to
guide you. We show you how your iPad can be a virtual shopping mall,
opening the door to purchases of music, books, videos, and movies. We
help you organize your daily life through the use of Calendar, Notes,
and Contacts, communicate with friends and colleagues with Mail, and
find your way with Maps.
The iPad is more than the ultimate leisure device; it's also a work
tool. Taking Your iPad to the Max guides you through the basics of
Apple's iWork suite for iPad. Learn to create business or personal
documents with Pages, make professional presentations with Keynote, and
keep data and finances under control with Numbers.
