iPad basics: Videos to get you started
Do you know what's great? I've found what I think are the most useful YouTube videos to help you learn how to use your iPad. Your own personal tutor is right here on the web. How great is that?! The description of the video is above it, so read those to help you decide which ones you should watch. Also, if you've found a video you think I should add to this page, please let me know. Thanks!
