iPad Software and Apps

   If you are fortunate enough to own an iPad chances are you have upgraded to the latest software iOS 4.2. But in case you have not or are still wondering what the iPad is capable of here is a little insight to the latest release of software.
   The previous versions did not allow for folders on the home screen. This made it a pain to search for the app you wanted to use especially if you have 7 or 8 pages of apps installed. With the Folders addition to the software you can simplify how your apps are stored and declutter those many pages. This allows you to keep your apps organized for faster access to your favorites. Folders are below on right in picture.
   Multitasking is also a new addition to the iOS 4.2. As shown in the picture above on the left-hand side. You can now access email, music, etc. while reading the latest news on a website. This allows for smooth and efficient operation without slowing down the performance or excessively draining the battery.
   AirPlay allows you to stream digital media wirelessly from your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch to the new Apple TV or AirPlay speakers. You can travel between rooms in your house without leaving your digital media behind. It also allows you to play your music and movies in your sound system and HDTV for great performance.
