You also can do this on the web
For example searching an image in google and then tap and hold picture and same option pops up

If you triple click the home button, you can zoom in on the screen or make it black/White (choose this setting in general, accessibility)

Well golly gee...I just learned another trick! Thanks so much Rich! I always heard that one of the cons about the iPad First Generation was that you couldn't multiple-task! Guess they were wrong! I am so glad to find you smart folks! ♥

so you are happy to know there is such a thing called "multitasking" for iOS devices, how about you watch this video and be more happy.

Finding Info on a Webpage in Safari

If you're searching for specific references to someone or something and you don't want to read an entire webpage, when in Safari, you can do the following:

1. Type the word in the Safari search box located in the top right of the screen.
2. While you're typing the word, the pull down menu right under the search box will automatically appear. Scroll to the bottom of this menu.
3. Select your typed word in the "On This Page" section of the pull down menu. (The number of matches is also displayed right next to the words "On This Page.")
4. To progress through the webpage to find all matches, select the word "Next" located in the lower left corner of your screen.

If you go onto settings general accessibility you can make you iPad White on black and everything is cool colours

You can set a triple click home screen button to do stuff eg White on black-triple click to turn off when set

Take a screenshot: Press Home and the sleep/wake button simultaneously. The screenshot will automatically appear among your photos.

The screenshot trick is definitely my favorite- can't wait to use it.

Triple tap the home button turns everything black/negative.

Very handy for e-reading programs that don't have a white on black option for reading an night built in.

You have to set that option in the Accessibility menu. Triple click is default set to some other function.

Another awesome tip. I just sold my beloved nook (to raise money for the iPad) and loved e-ink. I'll miss that, but reading books on a black screen vs. white will be really nice!

For those that don't know. In mail if you get sent photos, just tap and hold the photo and you can 'save the image' to your camera roll

Another great trick!

No ones mentioned that you can flick the , up to get a ' .
Use it all the time.

Sweet.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but...

Sick of your little ones randomly deleting or installing apps?

Go to settings and set up a restriction to disable installing or deleting apps, its that easy 

(thanx to mbern1008 - taught me this from another thread)

Sorry to hear you're having that trouble. Have you tried clearing your multi tasking bar by double pressing the home button, then long pressing an app until they start to jiggle and then u can clear them. If you've tried that, do a soft reset by holding the home button and the button on the top right of your phone simultaneously until the turn off slide appears, then restart your phone. You should be good to go then.

Another Tip that I use a lot. If you find yourself visiting a site often and it doesn't have an app, press the little square with the arrow which is left of the browser address, the one to set a bookmark and you can also 'add to homescreen'. This creates an app for that site and adds it to your screen. Enjoy!!

On my iPhone 4, you can email a video by clicking on the bottom left icon, just as you do when you want to email a photo. A prompt then pops up, with the top choice being "Email video."
