If you’re already familiar with using an iPhone or
iPod touch, you practically already know how to
use the iPad’s user interface. However, if you’re
new to any Apple products that use a Multi-
Touch interface, you’ll still find that the iPad is
easy to learn.
The Multi-Touch screen is how you’ll interact
with your iPad. By tapping, pinching, or sliding
your finger across the screen, you can select
items, manipulate objects, or scroll across the
screen. Nearly every app uses one or more
touch gestures, so it’s important to learn how
to use them all.
In this chapter you’ll learn how to control
your iPad using touch gestures on the Multi-
Touch screen.
