The Book

Instant New iPad Features in iOS 6 How-to is an eBook from Packt Publishing.

What is covered?

The book provides a short and practical coverage of apps available in iOS 6, specifically designed for iPad. The apps covered include iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, iBooks, GarageBand, Mail, and Photos. Instructions on how to leverage iCould to keep your data and documents in sync are also provided. Over 60% of the content is focussed on paid Apple apps, such as iPhone and GarageBand.

What isn’t covered?

At the start the book indicates technical device details wont be addressed. iOS 6 delivered significant new features that the book does not cover. For example Siri, Safari, and Phone had powerful additions. Maps is a completely new app and there was also the addition of Passbook and finally a Clock app. Social integration was also expanded and deepened. However, the book does not address these.

The Verdict?

Great little book if you require some practical guidance on using and setting up some of the Apple apps available for iPad.
