Hidden iPad Gestures: How to Activate Them

Maybe you've just picked up a new iPad 2. You most likely love it. In today's post I've got something to share that will hopefully make you love the iPad even more. Maybe you saw some video coverage of the iOS 4.3 beta from popular technology YouTubers such as Ty Moss (tysiphonehelp) or Mark Watson (SoldierKnowsBest). In the beta there were a few multi-touch gestures to make multi tasking a little bit smoother. I didn't really enjoy double clicking on the home button to multi-task. So, I found a better way. This will only work with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so I apologize in advance to the PC users. You'll need to go to the Mac App Store and download XCode (a $4.99 application). The video above shows you how to do the rest.

Apple iPad 2 Camera Quality Test & Photo Booth App Review

There were always whispers concerning the fact that the first generation iPad did not include a camera, while other competing tablets boasted two cameras. With the announcement of the iPad 2, Apple silenced the whispers about the iPad's lack of hardware as opposed to the competition. The iPad 2 feature's a front facing VGA quality camera, and a rear facing High Definition camera. It has become apparent that the camera quality of the "HD" camera isn't as great as the quality of the iPhone 4's HD camera. Nevertheless, it is an HD camera of 'noteworthy' quality (video below). 

In addition to the two new cameras for the iPad 2, Apple also unveiled their popular Photo Booth app that would be included in iOS 4.3. Photo Booth has been available for Mac's with iSight camera's for the past few years. With the addition of Photo Booth for the iPad 2, Apple continues to make a majority of their Apps universal between their Mac's and iOS devices. 

In these two videos, I provide a quick look at the video and audio quality of the iPad 2's front and rear facing camera's. As well as a review of the Photo Booth App included in the iPad's iOS 4.3 software.
