So, Santa stuffed an iPad into your stocking on Christmas (insert
mythical figure / appropriate receptacle / holiday of choice), and
you're wondering what to do with the thing? First of all,
congratulations! The iPad can be a wonderful, loyal companion and
friend, but it can also take a while to warm up to. As we always say,
a device is only as good as its apps, both literally and figuratively:
it'll take some time to figure out what you want to get from the
iTunes Store that will flesh out your experience, but it will also
take some time to see which nooks and crannies of your life the iPad
can fill, and what roles you'll want it to take over from your laptop
and phone. Follow along after the break as we show you how to wring
the most out of your shiny new tablet.
