5 Top Secret Tips from the Author

1. Trying to get through a bunch of email quickly? Archive or delete unimportant messages quickly by swiping on their subject-line in the Mail app. Need to make room for new stuff? The swipe-to-delete gesture works in several other apps like Videos and iBooks, too.


2. Browsing Safari when a bad song comes on? Double-click the home button, swipe the icons to the right, and press fast-forward in the iPod controls. (You can even get these iPod controls while your iPad is locked!)


3. Reading an article in Safari? Double-tap a column of text to zoom into it perfectly. Once you’re finished, jump back to the top of the page by tapping the very top of the iPad’s screen (the status bar).


4. Shake your iPad to undo a cut, paste, or even a bit of typing. Just be gentle!


5. Prefer playing music through your computer speakers, but reading the news on the iPad? You can control iTunes playing on your Mac or PC by using the free remote app from Apple.
