It seems like everyone loves and wants an iPad. It’s smaller than a laptop, so it’s very portable. You can pretty much use it for anything under the sun. The iPad is only limited by the imaginations of those who use it. Take a peek at the article below to learn a little about the iPad and its different features.

The iPad’s default setting shows two lines of every email prior to it being opened. It is helpful sometimes to get a preview of the email contact. Head to “settings” and hit “mail.” Go to Mail, pick Contacts and then tap Calendar. Then, preview mail options to change the lines.

Shortcuts make it far easier for you to send messages. For instance, when you tap the space bar two times, you will get a period and a space. This can give you the ability to send messages in volume.

You can mute your sound quickly on your iPad. The original iPad did not have a simple mute button. Once iOS 4.3 came out, there was an option added where your lock switch can mute the sound. Just tap and hold volume-down to quickly mute sound.

Do not dismiss the iPad’s cloud function if you are always connected online. It allows you to put your data and information in a secure location without cluttering up your iPad. Ensure that your important documents are shored on your iPad and the cloud.

Did you know that the iPad has the ability to cut and paste snippets of text? Use your finger to highlight the text, then choose the text that should be copied. Tap the screen again (the text should be yellow) and hit copy. You are then able to paste by tapping, then holding and then selecting the paste option.

There are endless opportunities when it comes to the uses of your iPad. The entire family can use the iPad. You should definitely take care of your iPad as well. The iPad is a powerful tool that can benefit you greatly.
