The iEverything
The iPad is a tablet computer that has gone a long way to change how we think of computers and how we interact with them. Instead of a large, static object it is effortlessly mobile, and even makes a laptop seem bulky by comparison.
But even with its compact size, the iPad still manages to pack a lot of power and functionality into its diminutive body. In this case, small is most definitely beautiful, and the range of what you can do with the iPad is considerable:
ā¢Communicate via email, video and text messaging.
ā¢Surf the web wirelessly.
ā¢Add an endless number of new āappsā from the Apple App Store.
ā¢Use a range of entertainment tools covering music, photos, video, books and games.
ā¢Do all of your favorite productivity tasks such as word processing, creating spreadsheets or producing presentations.
ā¢Organize your life with apps for calendars, address books, notes, reminders, and much more.
Add to this up to 10 hoursā battery life when you are on the move, a range of different sizes (with a Retina Display screen of outstanding clarity) and a seamless backup system, and it is clear why the iPad can stylishly fulfill all of your computing needs.
āAppsā is just a fancy name for what are more traditionally called programs in the world of computing. The iPad has several apps that come built in and ready for use. There are thousands more available to download from the online App Store (see Chapter 5).
The New icon pictured above indicates a new or enhanced feature introduced with iPads using iPadOS 15.
Simplicity of the iPad

The iPad is not only stylish and compact; it also makes the computing process as simple as possible, so you can concentrate on what you want to do. Some ways in which this is done are:
ā¢Quickly on. With the iPad there is no long wait for it to turn on, or wake from a state of sleep. When you turn it on, it is ready to use; itās as simple as that.
ā¢Apps. iPad apps sit on the Home screen, visible and ready to use. Most apps are created in a similar format, so once you have mastered getting around them you will be comfortable using the majority of them.
ā¢Settings. One of the built-in iPad apps is Settings. This is a one-stop shop for customizing the way that your iPad looks and operates...
