How to Use Your iPad To Improve Your Everyday Life

iPad Tips – Start Shopping From Your iPad

The iPad offers you many ways to make purchases online. You can use Safari, or plenty of dedicated shopping apps. eBay for iPad  is our preferred way to find items. It has a wonderful interface, listings appear in a floating window, so you’ll never need to tap back a page, and it’s even possible to pay for items via PayPal through the app. It makes the full website on your desktop computer look clumsy and rather old fashioned.

iPad Tips – Use Your iPad as a Picture Frame

If you’d like to use your iPad as a digital photo frame, simply open the Setting app, tap on Picture Frame, and toggle the on/off button. The iPad will now fade or animate between photos when you tap the flower icon on the lock screen. You can also tell the iPad to zoom in on the faces in photos enabling the Zoom in on Faces button, and choose whether to display all photos or just the images from a specific album.

iPad Tips – Instant Message Your Friends

The iPad doesn’t have a Messages app for sending SMS and MMS messages, but that doesn’t mean you can’t instantly message your friends. IM+ Pro is perhaps the most feature-packed app, with support for every major chat program available, including GTalk, MSN/Live, AIM/iChat, ICQ, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook and Skype. Messages are free, and the app supports push notifications. IM+ Pro even includes a built-in browser for viewing links. It’s not free, however, priced £5.99/$9.99.

iPad Tips – Get Cooking With Your iPad

There are a plethora of recipe apps on the Apps Store, including great additions from celebrity chefs such as Gordon Ramsay Cook With Me HD. You’ll never run out of dinner ideas, however, with the free iPad app 170,000+ Recipes: Big Oven. As the name suggests, more than 170,000 recipes can be found, most with lengthy instructions. Big Oven also enables you to post your own recipes, create a favourites list, create a groceries list and more.

iPad Tips – Update Facebook From Anywhere

Whether you’re sat on the couch, lying in bed or sunbathing on the beach, you can update your Facebook status at any time using the iPad. Simply open Safari, log into your Facebook account, and away you go. It’s also possible to upload photos to Facebook using third-party apps such as Facebook for iPad. This popular photo app can also download photos to your iPad photo album, and even enable you to chat to friends in real time.
