In-Depth Information
After you've unlocked the iPad, you're taken to the Home screen, which
displays the software applications (or “apps”) stored on the device
(
Figure 1.1
). When your iPad holds more than 20 apps, a new Home screen
is created; you can see how many screens are available by looking at the
dots near the bottom of the screen. Swipe left or right to switch between
each screen. The shelf at the bottom of the screen holds up to six apps
that remain visible on every Home screen.
Yes, that's right. Although the shelf holds four apps initially (and four
is the maximum number on the iPhone and iPod touch), you can add
two more apps of your choosing.
