11 iPad Tips and Tricks!!!

Yes, the Apple iPad.

Most, if not many of you have already heard of the magnificent iPad. Steve’s baby – as some may recall.

Here are a couple of tips and tricks I’ve learned while playing with it for a couple hours.

Tip #1: The dock can support up to six (6) apps!

Tip #2: You can mute your iPad by holding down the down volume control button.

Tip #3: Double tapping the space bar will insert a period followed by a space.

Tip #4: You can get rid of the keyboard by tapping the keyboard button on the bottom right corner of the on-screen keyboard.

Tip #5: The iPad can support up to 11 app pages (i.e. the dots at the bottom of the app page.)

Tip #6: Tap the groups ribbon on the Contacs app to filter your contacts by group.

Tip #7: In the Maps app, tap and hold anywhere on the map to drop a pin.

Tip #8: In the iBooks app, you can tap and hold to select a word and when you “Bookmark” it, it actually highlights the words you’ve just selected.

Tip #9: Double-tapping a word selects it.

Tip #10: Let’s say you’ve reordered every app on your iPad and decided that you want to go back to its original state? You can now reset specific parts of your iPad from your Home Screen – resets the built-in apps of your iPad to its original first-page location, reset your network settings – in case you want your iPad to forget every network it was previously connected to including the one you’re in, reset the location warnings, reset your keyboard dictionary and last and finally, to reset all.

Tip #11: If you’ve paired your bluetooth keyboard with your iPad, chances are, you’ll have noticed the on-screen keyboard disappear. Whenever you’re not using your keyboard anymore, and wants to regain the on-screen keyboard, you can always turn the bluetooth keyboard off by holding down the power button for a couple seconds.

If you’ve got new tips and tricks you want to share, by all means post them on the comment section below! Thanks and enjoy your iPad!

Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station NOW AVAILABLE!

At CES, they unveiled the almighty powerful Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station. The more I saw it, read the description and saw demos, the more I want it.

To sum it all up, it simply isn’t a simple simplistic router. It has the standard specs – 802.11 b/g/n… a simple router that could and did it.

What sets it apart from everyone is that it’s a powerhouse in one tiny device that even the Apple AirPort Express is a mere fart.

Boasting not one, but FOUR USB ports for easy hard drive, printer and media sharing (yea, you heard me right, MEDIA SHARING! PS3 and XBox fans rejoice!), you get a network hard drive router, print server, media center and more:

  • Wireless backup (including Time Machine compatability)
  • Hard drive mirroring (with a touch of a button)
  • iTunes compatability (so you won’t need to put all your humongous songs in your computer hard drive, you just simply tuck it away inside a portable hard drive. Leaving you with more space for important stuff.)
  • Free software – TrendMicro Internet Security, EMC Retrospect Express Backup software, Iomega QuickProtect and MozyHome Online Backup  Service.

Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic

Did you know?:

That your Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic not only works with your iPods (recent ones that is…) it also works on your Mac!

With the included headphone auxiliary input on your MacBook/Pro/Air, simply plug in your Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic, and it should recognize the headphones.

The buttons work, and it’s fully functional!!!

The mic works, great sound too!

If figured these out when I couldn’t find my headphones so I plugged in the headphones that came with my 32GB iPod Touch and tried the buttons… surprisingly, they worked! But with no one talking about it, I figured I’d blog about it.

Well, there you go! Try ‘em today!
