How To Get The Most From Your iPad

• The explosion in the number of tablets being sold
  is breath taking and is set to continue to grow
  exponetially. The vast majority of people are
  using these for personal use but every single day
  they are coming more and more into daily business
  use.
•  
• In 2011 Apple sold just over 15 million iPads
  according to one of their spokesmen.
•  
• That figure is quite breathtaking and it will
  only increase.

How To Get The Most From Your iPad

• 3G networks in most countries throughout the
  world are still at quite stage of infancy. The
  iPad 2 does allow for a Mobile SIM card to be
  added making it able to connect to the Internet
  via the 3G network. Sadly, then networks are
  struggling to keep up with the demand for
  bandwidth and availability. The only good news
  is that the price of these 3G plans are dropping
  all the time and this will continue to be the
  case. 
•  
• My one word of caution here is to be careful if
  you roam outside your own country. The cost of
  roaming data is extremely expensive and you can
  easily run up a huge bill.

Basic iPad Features Reviewed

• Most users will know that the iPad 2 has two
  cemeras one of which is for High Definition
  recording and the other for Facetime. Facetime is
  a great way to speak with far off friends and
  family and I use it a lot as it is a great
  feature and the complete death of crap video
  phones that never really took off.
•  
• Apple claim there is a 10 hour battery life but
  at best I am getting 8 hours though I would class
  myself as a heavy user.
•  
• For the technophobe there is a Dual-core A5 chip
  and that simply means the iPad can do twice the
  amount of work making having many applications
  open at the same time a complete breeze.
•  
• It uses the ios operating system and without
  getting into detail it id the best operating
  system for Mobile phones out there in my opinion.
  Check out the iMessage and notification center
  on your iPad and you will see what I mean.
•  
• Magnificent 9.7 display which is backlit by LED
  making for fantastic images and easy to see
  graphics.
•  
• Everything is transacted by touch and makes
  opening and switching between applications a
  breeze.
•  
• You can use it for emails, surfing, gaming, a
  compass, GPS, etc and you can also get a variety
  of covers for it.

Do you really know your iPad?

• Now if you only want to use your iPad as a fancy
  email checking service then please read no
  farther, and the similar would apply if you only
  want to do a bit of surfing or check Facebook. I
  had picked up a few more tips and tricks along
  the way and even downloaded many of the great
  apps that exist out there.
• I guess for me I just like to know things and get
  the most use out of something. I mean why buy a
  scientific calculator and use it for adding up.
  I know people who have bought recordable DVD
  players and have never recorded anything because
  it looks too complicated. I have never been able
  to understand that.
• I know many hundreds of people who have Smart
  phones and they can make and receive calls, send
  texts, check emails and surf the Internet. They
  do not have a clue what else their Smart phone
  can actually do for them and I find that
  bewildering.
• If only they knew that with a little more
  knowledge they could make their day to day
  activities so much easier and also have a lot
  more fun in the evenings.

Do you really know your iPad?

• Did you know for example that you can set up an
  auto-lock and change the idle time?
• Did you know you can quickly and easily set up
  password protection from General settings?
• Did you know that you can turn on picture frame,
  set up a self destruct erase data if someone
  tries to access your iPad ten times?
• Did you know you can enable the cellular SIM card
  as well?
•  
• I called two of my local colleges to see if they
  had an iPad course so as I could learn to really
  get the best use out of it. No they didnt do
  them and to tell the truth I wasnt surprised. I
  did find one private tuition course and it was a
  13 week course and the cost was a whopping 900
  (1300)
•  
• I had paid 600 (900) so paying out almost
  double that was not on the cards. There is some
  bits and pieces on Youtube if you can sort them
  out but is a bit of a hit an miss to be honest.
•  
• I did finally find something online which was a
  very good course and has worked well for me.
