iPad Tip 12 - Better Battery Life

Better Battery Life

The iPad battery can last for up to 10 hours, but you can squeak out a bit more usage. Drag the brightness slider (under Settings, Brightness) as low as you can stand, turn off both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (under Settings), don't play and videos or music, and avoid gaming apps.

Turn off or decrease the timing for data fetching. Data that is updated regularly includes email notifications and RSS feeds.

Turn off Location Services. Active use of maps and other location services will drain battery life. If left on, Maps updates continuously, something that you don't need draining your battery.

iPad Tip 11 - Web Pages as Apps

Web Pages as Apps.

Instead of using bookmarks to get back to frequently visited web pages, consider creating
desk-top icons for those most important pages.
In Safari, tap the Add Bookmark icon (+), select "Add To Home Screen", and then tap the
Add button. An icon shortcut to the page will be added to your desktop.

iPad Tip 9 - Organizing Apps

Organizing Apps

Most people think that organizing apps on your iPad (or iPhone) must be done on the device.
This isn't true - you can use iTunes to drag and drop app icons wherever you want.
Connect and select your iPad, then select the Apps tab and drag icons from the top window
frame to the frame where you want to place any given icon.
