Finger Moves for the iPad
The “brain” behind the iPad—its operating system—is smart enough to respond to a series of very different touches. The ones you make depend on what you want to do. Here are the moves:
-
Tap. Take the tip of your finger and lightly press an icon, thumbnail image, song title, or control you see on-screen. The iPad isn’t a crusty old calculator, so you don’t have to push hard; a gentle touch does the trick.
-
Drag. Keep your fingertip pressed down on the glass and slide it around to scroll to different places on the screen. That’s how you adjust volume sliders and pan around a photo. A two-finger drag scrolls a window within a window (like the floating window that pops up over your Facebook screen when you call up your Friends list).
