Ipad tips

By

  • The Apple iPad is a large-form toucscreen-controlled device similar to the iPhone and iPod Touch and is capable of running more than 50,000 applications available on the iTunes App Store. Its user interface was designed with simplicity and intuitiveness in mind, allowing anyone to easy access its basic functions. There are a lot of shortcuts and operations that aren't widely promoted; knowing the intricacies of iPad operation can make the device far more efficient to use.

iPhone Apps

  • The iPad is capable of running the vast majority of existing iPhone and iPod touch applications and can scale them to double their normal size to better fit the iPad's larger screen.

Rotation Lock

  • A small switch on the side of the iPad allows you to lock the screen in its current orientation. This is useful when reading or watching video content, as it prevents the motion sensors from automatically rotating the book or image.

Caps Lock

  • The keyboard's caps lock feature is turned off by default. To activate it, open the "Settings" application, tap the "General" menu, and enter the "Keyboard" settings. Slide the "Enable Caps Lock" switch to "ON." Double tapping the shift key will now activate caps lock when typing.

Scrolling

  • If a web page contains a frame with its own scroll bar, sliding two fingers up and down within the frame will scroll its content but keep the rest of the page stationary.

Open New Tab

  • If you want to open a link in a new tab, tap and hold the link. A contextual menu will pop up, allowing you to either copy the URL or open it in a new page.

Mute

  • To quickly mute the audio, press and hold the volume down button on the side of the iPad.

Ipad 2 Accesories

By
Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

By
Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
