Summary

In recent years, we have seen the iPod and then the iPhone dominate the digital media and gaming industries. Apple has further cemented its place as the provider of computing devices for enjoying books, music, movies, and television with the release of the iPad. The iPad surpasses the iPhone with a 9.7-inch screen and dazzling graphics. Movies, games, and books look sharp, crisp, and clear. And with a slim-line form and light weight, the iPad never needs to leave the user's grasp. Operating with the iPhone OS, the iPad works with all of the 140 thousand plus apps on Apple's acclaimed app store. It is the ultimate entertainment and computing hand-held device. Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPad shows readers how to access and download books, apps, music, and video content as well as send photos and emails, sync with other Apple devices and services, and effectively use the multi-touch display.
