Preface
Apple's iPad has revolutionized the way we consume and edit content. This has resulted in a
major shift that many are now starting to adopt. The new iPad's display and processing power
allow for a rich media experience that is unlike any other. Instead of solely consuming media,
you can create, edit, and manage everything from Excel documents to HD home movies. The
multi-touch interface makes creating and editing intuitive. iCloud syncs documents, movies,
music, and images to the cloud for access from all of your Apple devices. By exploring Apple's
suite of apps designed specially for the iPad, these recipes provide easy-to-follow steps
enabling you to become a power user.
What this book covers
New iPad features and native applications (Must know): This recipe offers a break down of the
apps that come natively installed on the new iPad. We'll briefly introduce each application we'll
be working with in the book.
Working with the Mail application (Must know): This recipe is a walkthrough of the e-mail set
up process. We'll also learn about Mail's VIP feature.
Adding an @iCloud.com e-mail address (Should know): This recipe covers details about iCloud
and its workings. Want to know what the cloud is and what we're able to sync to the cloud?
This recipe will answer your questions and guide you through the process of setting up your
iPad for iCloud syncing.
Photos – editing, sharing, and Photo Stream (Should know): This recipe gets into the details of
editing images and sharing them between devices. We'll edit an image and go over the editing
capabilities of the Photos app. With Photo Stream, we'll learn what it's all about and why it's
such a cool feature.
