Some Tablets have been around a long time

The most popular tablet is the Apple iPad but there are many others:

AndroidNoun : (in science fiction) A robot

with a human appearance

A linux based operating system designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later bought in 2005.

iOSiOS is Apple's mobile operating system used for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices.

iOS utilises a multi-touch interface where simple gestures are used to operate the device, like swiping your finger across the screen to move to the next page or pinching your fingers to zoom out.

Latest is iO6 with 7 due soon, and possibly to coincide with the iPad 5.

How do tablets differ from a desktop PC or laptopTouch ScreensGenerally no keyboard or mouseA camera that takes photos and videoTablets connect to the Internet using either Wi-Fi or 3G technologies

(3G is what your mobile uses to connect virtually anywhere)Designed for media — ebooks, movies, and music — and for playing

games, browsing the Internet, or retrieving e-mailLimited Word-Processing and number crunchingTypically use smartphone operating systems, so they work differentlyTablets come in different sizes such as 7 inch or 10 inchDifferent resolutionsHave their own processors (different from those used in laptops)Memory capacity will almost always be smaller than a laptop - ranges

from 8GB to 64GBTheir battery life is typically longer than most laptops

Care and protectionCase or coverLint free cloth

Setting upOnce it’s out the box you’ll need to set up your iPad:

Firstly power it upAt the first screen it will simply say ‘iPad’Swipe your finger to the right where it says ‘Slide to set

up’.You might see other languages. Set up your language,

country and region and your wifi network with a passwordWhatever you choose in the next stage will need an

Apple ID

Help ….. I’m already confused!

We’ll go back to the basics and

discuss some of the jargon you

need to know first of

all.

Multi touch gesturesYou use your finger to do things on the screen

Tap to "click" or select something on the screenSometimes you might tap and hold to access other options (think of

this as "right-clicking")Drag to scroll up and down, left or right, or any other direction on the

screen.Swipe left or right to flip through photos, pages in an e-book, pages

on the Home screen, and moreSwipe left or right with 4 or 5 fingers to switch between open appsDouble tap to zoom in or out on photos, webpages, and certain appsPinch to zoom in or out almost anywherePinch 4 or 5 fingers together to jump to the Home screen, no matter

where you areSwipe up with 4 or 5 fingers to pull up the multitasking bar

Getting to know the interfaceThe iPad comes with pre-installed apps. Apps are applications that make it work.This view shows the home screen.

Introduction to AppsApps are programs that are designed to run on your deviceThey can be fun or seriousThey can be a game, or something more essential (like an email client)The iPad comes with 19 built-in apps that you can access immediately from the Home screenThey're a great place to start for new users because there's nothing to download or installMany of these apps are ready to use right out of the box (like the Camera app), while others require a little more setup (like Mail and Contacts)

What’s an Apple ID?If you've already turned on your iPad, you know that it's part of

the setup process – but you can add one later on as wellIn short, an Apple ID is a simple username and passwordIt’s free to set up but you may have to pay for itemsIt's your identity on your device and your gateway to other

Apple services like the App Store, iCloud, itunes, the ibook store and more

The more you use your iPad, the more you'll understand how important the Apple ID is

You’ll need an email address to set up an Apple ID

Create an Apple ID / Account

Tap Create Apple ID Select country and accept terms and conditions.

Select Billing type and enter your details.

Enter your email address, security questions, birthday, and create your password.

Note if you select None you won’t be charged until you try to make a purchase.

You can also buy a pre-paid card instead of using a credit card. You can pick the amount you want to spend and enter the code at payment.

Verify Account details for Apple ID

Tap Sign In and you will see a thankyou screen saying: Thankyou for verifying your

email address

You have set up your account successfully, and you can start enjoying iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Using the App Store

The App Store gives you access to over 250,000 apps

You'll find everything from games, to entertainment, to apps for cooking dinner, or keeping track of travel details

A lot of the content in the App Store costs money; however, you'll still find thousands of apps and other resources that you can download for free, or for as little as $0.99

How do you pay for content in the App Store? You use your Apple ID!

4-digit passcode. (You'll be asked to enter it twice to confirm.)

Passcode Lock will be enabled. You'll need to enter it the next time you turn on your iPad, or wake it up from sleep mode.

Setting up email on the iPad Mail is probably one of the first apps you'll want

to set up on your device, and the mail app makes it much more convenient.

Mail is compatible with Gmail, Hotmail, and most other popular services. You can even add more than one account to the app; for example, your personal email, as well as your work email. That way, you can check all of your email in one convenient place.

To Set Up MailGeneral SettingsEmail accountGives you a choice to select email service

Follow the instructions to enter your account information. The steps will be slightly different for each email service, because each one is unique.

More communication appsMake free video calls using Facetime. It’s

similar to Skype.Try the front and back camera. You can use

the front camera to talk face-to-face, then switch to the back camera to show what's going on around you.

Add your friends and family to your contacts. You can't call people in FaceTime just by dialing their number or entering their email address. They have to be part of your contacts list first. 

Twitter and FacebookTwitter and Facebook have their own mobile apps for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. You don't even have to go looking for them in the App Store—instead, you'll find everything you need under your device's Settings. Just navigate to each app, then click Install to get started. Once the installation is finished, the app will walk you through the process of setting it up:

Apps for everyday Tasks

• Safari for browsing the web

• Calendar for managing your schedule

• Reminders for staying on top of important tasks

• And other tools like Notes, Maps, and Passbook

SafariShare the sitesIf you’re on a web page you find interesting and want to share it, you can. One tap opens a menu that lets you email a link to the page, tweet about it, or post it on Facebook.

Multi-Touch Zoom for Safari

Sometimes it can be difficult to read webpages in the mobile version of Safari.

1. Double-tap to zoom in, which enlarges the page to about 150% every time (perfect for reading small text).

2. Use the pinch gesture, which gives you more control over how large (or small) the page appears.

MapsFeeling lost?

Maps can help you find your way with simple turn-by-turn directions, and live traffic updates.

Location Services

This is in General Settings > Privacy

Maps can use your location data to give you directions from point A to point B. Camera can use it to tag your photos and videos to identify where they were taken (sometimes called geotagging). Apps like Twitter and Facebook can also use this data to share your whereabouts with your friends.

Weather

Use the Weather app to check the weather in your city.It can be set to your current location instead (this can be useful if you do a lot of traveling). You can add more than one city, so you can keep track of the weather in different parts of the world.

Clock The Clock can be customized to show you the time in different parts of the world.

It also has an alarm, stopwatch, and timer.

If you have Siri on your device, try asking Siri to set an alarm or a timer for you, instead of opening the app.

Camera and Photos You can take photos and videos with your

iPad.

It's designed to work closely with the Photos app, which lets you view, organise, and edit the media you've captured.

If you have one of the newer models, you can even take advantage of your device's front and back camera to photograph what's in front of you, or take a self portrait instead.

Zooming in and out

To zoom in or out in the Camera app, use the pinch gesture. This option is great for taking close-up photos when you can't get close enough to your subject.

To take a screenshot press the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. This will take a photo on screen – lots of these images have been sourced that way.

Getting to know Photos

When you take a photo it automatically gets saved in Photos.You can create albums and drag photos into those albums.

Share button

Editing PhotosTo access the editing options, tap Edit while viewing a photo in full-screen mode.

SiriFirstly go to Settings to turn Siri on > General > Siri > OnTo activate hold down the HOME button for a few seconds

Using SiriAfter Siri has opened, you simply speak your command in a normal conversational manner and she will (usually) have an intelligent response.If you are requesting Siri to send a message (email or text/iMessage) to someone, she will show you a draft of the message before it is sent. To go ahead and send the message, just say “Send” or touch the “Send” button.Some examples of things you can say to Siri may be:Maps“Where can I get a slice of pizza nearby?”“How far away is Como?”Phone“Call my wife.”Reminders“Remind me to quit my job when I get to work tomorrow”“On October 3 remind me that my dad’s birthday is next week.”Weather“What is the weather supposed to be like for this weekend?”Social Media“Post to Facebook, “I love my iPad”Sports“What is the score of the West Coast Collingwood game?”
