Second edition of iPad for the Older and Wiser is available now
22 June 2012
So, as I said, I have a new book coming out, which is always
a thrill. It’s an updated and expanded edition of iPad for the
Older and Wiser, which is still #1 on Amazon in the Hardware category in
its first edition. That’s a huge success, given that it’s up against so many
series that are household brands, and the Older and Wiser series is a relative
newcomer. The publishers have done a fantastic job of marketing the book.The new edition, available on Amazon now, has been completely updated. Not only has the new (third generation) iPad been released, but Apple has also made a lot of improvements to all iPads through a software update.
With the introduction of iCloud, there’s a different
philosophy in using the iPad, since you don’t need to physically connect it to
your computer to set up and use it now (although there are still reasons you
might choose to do that). There are new apps including Messages, Newsstand, and
Reminders, and the Notification Centre has been introduced to make it easier to
manage and respond to alerts from your apps. The browser includes several new
features (including the Reading List and tabbed browsing), and you can make
simple photo edits using the iPad’s included software. There are lots of small
changes that have been made too, including some new gestures. The whole book
has been rechecked and revised where necessary, and there are 50 pages of new
content, about a 20% increase.
You can find out more
about iPad for the Older and Wiser (including magazine reviews) here, and can
order
the second edition of iPad for the Older and Wiser on Amazon here.
The first
edition of iPad for the Older and Wiser will continue to be available while
stocks last, and the free
iOS5 guide still provides a handy update to that edition. My previous books
in the Older and Wiser series, including Microsoft
Office for the Older and Wiser, are still available too.
