Misc.


How to take a picture of your screen (screen capture)

- Hold the Home button and press the Hold button once. The screen will flash white and the picture will be saved in your Photos. You can email them to get them off.


To move icons to different screens, press and hold on any icon. They will all start to wiggle, now you can drag them and rearrange them.


To add bookmarks to your home page, when you are surfing and you want to bookmark a page, click the "+" icon and instead of just clicking Add Bookmark, click Add to Home Screen. Rearrange as needed.


Check iTunes daily under the All Free Apps as they are updated frequently.

Tips:

- Bring charger to work (its just a USB cable)

- Set brightness to halfway (it's pretty bright already)

- At night... either charge it, turn it off, or turn off wifi, sometimes it can get quite dead.
