Try these neat tricks for starters:
Double-tap the screen so that the area of the display that you make contact with fills the
entire screen. It takes just a second before the screen comes into focus. By way of example,
check out Figure 4-3 , which shows two views of the same Sports Illustrated web page. In the
first view, you see what the page looks like when you first open it. In the second one, you see
how the Top Stories box takes over much more of the screen after you double-tap it. The area
of the screen you double-tapped is the area that swells up. To return to the first view, double-
tap the screen again.
Figure 4-3: Doing a double-tap dance zooms in and out.
Pinch the page. Sliding your thumb and index finger together and then spreading them apart
(or as we like to say, unpinching ) also zooms in and out of a page. Again, wait just a moment
for the screen to come into focus.
Press down on a page and drag it in all directions, or flick through a page from top to
bottom. You're panning and scrolling, baby.
Rotate the iPad to its side. This reorients from portrait to a widescreen landscape view. The
keyboard is also wider in this mode, making it a little easier to enter a new URL. However,
this little bit of rotation magic won't happen if you set and enabled the Screen Orientation
Lock feature that we describe in Chapter 1 .
