But wait — there’s more! Not only is the iPad a stellar media player, it’s also a full-featured Internet communications device with — we’re about to drop some industry jargon on you — an email client that’s compatible with most POP and IMAP mail services, plus it has support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. (For more on this topic, see Chapter 5.) Also onboard is Safari, a world-class web browser that makes web surfing fun and easy on the eyes. Chapter 4 explains how to surf the web using Safari.

Another cool Internet feature is Maps, a killer mapping app that’s improved in iPadOS. By using GPS or triangulation (Wi-Fi–only models), the iPad can determine your location, let you view maps and satellite imagery, and obtain driving directions and traffic information regardless of where you happen to be. You can also find businesses (such as gas stations, pizza restaurants, hospitals, and Apple Stores) with just a few taps.

Maps is useful over Wi-Fi but more useful and more accurate on cellular iPads.

We dare say that the Internet experience on an iPad is far superior to the Internet experience on any other handheld device.
