New iPad Discovery and I'm Capturing Everything in Sight

So I'm just messing around one day with my iPad and I downloaded an app  called  "Tips and Tricks: iPad Secrets.". And as I went through these Cliff Notes of sorts, I kept hearing  myself say "I knew it had to be a way.  I knew it!" But the single most exciting discovery was the revelation of how to do a screen capture on my iPad.  Needless to say, I've been capturing everything in sight, just for the hell of it.

Here's the tip:

Just press the sleep and home button on the iPad at the same time, and voila' (or wah lah  for those that have yet to discover that it's REALLY voila').

Screen Capture on iPad

And lookie here what I done captured on my iPad thingy all by my lonesome!

Interesting post.

I just heard on the news that Apple is now divorcing itself from google maps?? What are they going to replace it with??

It's no surprise to me that I'm the last one to figure out this gem of a feature.  But I'll tell you.  I learn new stuff forever on my iPad if I didn't have work to do.  It's still my favorite toy.

My 13 year old daughter had to teach me how to do a screen shot on my iPhone lol :)!  I didn't even think about it on my iPad.  Great tip Charita!  It's always fun when you discover cool things to do on our gadgets :)!

Hi Charita. Glad to see your are enjoying your New iPad. I keep hitting that screen capture on my smartphone by accident. I need someone to teach me how to use it when I want to capture something, and not by accident. The iPad is on my Wish List.
