If you use a Windows or Mac computer, you
canbuy software in a store, over theInter net,
or through the mail. No matter how you get a
program, you can install it on your computer.
The iPad is different. You can’t buy iPad soft-
ware from anywhere other than Apple’s App
Store.
The reason for this is security. When you
install programs from any source, there’s always
the chance of malicious software (aka mal ware)
sneaking on to your computer and infecting it.
By distributing iPad software (more commonly
known as applications or just apps), Apple can
inspect all apps to make sure they don’t do
anything sneaky like capture your password
and send it to some hacker in another part of
the world.
In this chapter you’ll learn how to install (and
uninstall) apps on your iPad.
