Ha! Today, I accidently discovered I could just move the Roadrunner e-mails into my Gmail account/labels. No re-mailing required!

I take an e-mail that comes in to my Time Warner Roadrunner account, press the "move" button (the little down arrow thingy in the Mail app), select a folder in my Gmail account (on the left side … when the iPad is in landscape mode … just browse to whatever folder you want) and put the e-mail into that folder. Ta da! You've moved an e-mail to a different account. Oh, and the Gmail server updates/sync to show that newly moved e-mail.

Now, y'all probably knew this tip/trick already, but I thought it was so cool - I had to share it as a tip. But, I no longer care that Roadrunner is a POP3 account with no way to make folders, so … yay!

BTW - I should imagine this would work for other accounts too, not just Roadrunner (and, if they are IMAP as Gmail is, the server may also update). I do know that I can move an e-mail from my Gmail to my Roadrunner account - the e-mail will "disappear" from Google's server and will show up in the Roadrunner account on the iPad. Or, I can move either of these accounts e-mails into a third e-mail account (my college e-mail). Granted, neither the college nor Roadrunner servers update like Gmail's does, but still, I think it's a handy way to manage e-mails/inboxes.

Just makes managing e-mails a little easier … as I do like folders for just-in-case-I-need-it storage purposes. Of course, and as always, YMMV.

That is a funny one. My iPad 1 needs to be shacked quite hard for it to work, perhaps the iPad 2 can measure the shack more accurately.

You don't need to shake your iPad. Just tap on the number/symbol soft button on the keyboard and there will be a undo/redo large softkey.

Okay, now THATS a tip! I never knew that. Very helpful and something I, unfortunately, will use often.

Thanks!

Random one, you can use your smart cover to clean your screen of smudges.

With your cover on, press on the last flap (one with magnets) and push it towards the hinge, while keeping it flat on the glass. Then, do the same pulling it back to its original position. Basically that last flap is now your screen cleaner.

This might have been posted earlier, but dont have time to read through, just something I discovered on my own and wanted to share.

Wow I had my iPhone almost a year and a half and didn't even notice that button there!

Wow. I must have been blind, using the number keyboard daily, without noticing the 'undo' button. I blame it on it's enormous size.

Here's a tip for those who use the native video application. If you want to scroll forward or backward using the scroll bar (aka 'scrubbing'), you can drag the slider DOWN to control how fine the left and right movements will be. In other words, select the slider, drag down to see the display change from 'Hi-speed scrubbing','Half speed scrubbing','Quarter speed scrubbing','Fine scrubbing' and then drag left or right...

That was my reaction. TBH, I felt like an idiot after seeing that big ole button...
