iPad: The Unofficial Users Manual (Updated 5/22/2010) Review

(Note: this book was updated 5/22/2010 to include dozens of more tips and tricks!), as well as an added appendix full of dozens of apps to check out and a new chapter all about iPad Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

History will decide if the iPad is as revolutionary as some people think. What’s important is you have yours, and now it’s time to tweak it with Apps galore!

The point of this book is to show you how to get the most out of your new investment, and not just to repeat everything in the user manual supplied by Apple online.

Sure, the iPad is pretty, but did you know you can also run Windows 7 off it remotely? There may not be a Microsoft Word App, but that doesn’t mean you can’t remotely run Word from the computer in your home office? The Apple manual won’t show you that. It also won’t show where to get free books. And speaking of free, did you know you don’t have to have your music collection on your iPad? This book will show you how to stream the collection of CDs you own on other device.

Did you pick up an iPad without 3G? Did you know that you can use the 3G on your smart phone to run the Internet on your new tablet? What about printing? Did you know there’s a way to print right from your iPad?

How about hearing a book read aloud? Did you know you can actually hear your books read to you? It’s easy!

If you want to read the official iPad documentation, this book will also show you how to get that.

There is not yet an official user manual for iPad Pages, Numbers, or Keynote, so a very basic one is also included here.

There are all kinds of tricks to getting the most from your iPad, so sit back and enjoy the ride!
