One of the neat things about the iPad is the ability to take a picture of your screen. There are several reasons why you would want to take a screenshot. You can take a screenshot of a webpage, of an app, of your home screen or anything else that is currently on your screen.
First let’s go through the process of how you can take a screen shot of your screen on the iPad. When you have what you want to take a picture of ready on your screen, hit the Home button and the Power button simultaneously. When you do that your screen will flash bright white and you will hear the sound of a picture being taken. The new image you have created will now be in your pictures app.
When I first got my iPad a couple of years ago I wanted a to-do list app. What I was looking for was a simple and straightforward way to add a list of items and check them off as I completed them. It would be even nicer if I could get a reminder too. So I downloaded a few free and paid apps but none were really to my liking.
Then there was the big iOS 5 update and Apple decided to include a native reminders app. This new Reminders app leaves all the other task management type apps in the dust. The beauty of this app is that you can use it as a to-do list where you can quickly add items to a list which you can later check off one by one as you complete. But you can also use it to remind you of things you need to do. It can remind you hours from now, weeks from now or months from now. It can even remind you when you get near a place via its location based alerts. Let me go over the main features of the Reminders app in iOS 5.
When Apple released a major update to their mobile operating system, iOS 5, they made various bug fixes and major upgrades. The upgrades everyone was talking about was iMessage and iCloud. But Apple also made it easier for iPad users to type with a software upgrade for the keyboard.
iPads are more than just for playing games. Many users spend lots of time typing on their iPad’s. Some spend their time replying to emails, taking notes in class, and yet others like me type up their blog posts on an iPad.
Before the iOS 5 upgrade, typing on an iPad involved touching the keys on the on-screen keyboard with the index finger one by one. Typing was easiest done as the iPad was on a stand on a desk. The difficulty arose when users were holding the iPad with both hands. Now imagine trying to type? You would have to let go of the iPad with one hand and use your other hand to touch the keys with your index finger, one letter at a time. As you do this, your other hand is probably getting tired of holding up your iPad.
