Part III: You and Your iPad 2... > Chapter 4: Other Sync Methods
Chapter 4
Other Sync Methods
In Chapter 3: “Sync Your iPad with iTunes,” you learned how to connect your iPad to your computer and use iTunes to sync your personal information, music, videos, and more. In this chapter, we explore some alternative ways to wirelessly synchronize information to your iPad. The benefit of the wireless methods is that you don't need to connect your iPad to your computer to have the information updated. Everything happens over the air—automatically. The two methods we cover are Apple's MobileMe Service and Exchange/Google Sync.
NOTE: If you use the Gmail account setting instead of Exchange (as we describe in this chapter) to set up your Gmail, you will be able to wirelessly sync your email, calendar, and notes, but not your Google contacts. So if you don't need Google Contacts synced, you can use the Gmail setting instead of Exchange.
