The Home screen, which we discuss in Chapter 1, is not the only screen of icons on your tablet. After you start adding apps from the iTunes App Store (see Chapter 10), you may see a row of two or more tiny dots just above the main apps parked at the bottom of the screen. Those dots denote additional Home screens each containing up to 30 additional icons, not counting the additional icons on your iPad’s dock. You can have up to 15 Home screens. You can also have more or fewer icons on your dock, but we can’t think of a decent reason why you’d want to ditch any of them. In any case, more on these in a moment.

Here’s what you need to know about navigating among the screens:

 To navigate between screens, flick your finger from right to left or left to right across the middle of the screen, or tap directly on the dots. The number of dots you see represents the current number of screens on your iPad. The all-white dot denotes the screen you’re currently viewing. Flicking — or swiping — from right to left from the first Home screen brings up the aforementioned Today screen.

 Make sure you swipe and not just tap, or you’ll probably open one of the apps on the current screen instead of switching screens.

 Press the Home button to jump back to the Home screen. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Doing so the first time takes you back to the last-viewed Home screen. A second time takes you to the first Home screen.

  You can now put as many as 15 apps and as little as none on the dock. The dock also shows the three most recently opened apps on the right side of the divider line, making for a quick return to an app. You can access the dock from an open app by swiping up from the bottom of your screen.
