Okay, so you've got a new iPad Air and/or iPad mini with Retina display. Do you know how to take full advantage of it?

Super-fast processors, streamlined Internet access, and free productivity and entertainment apps make Apple's new iPads the hottest tablets around.

° Enjoy your entire media library (music, photos, movies, TV shows, books, games, and podcasts);

° Hit the Web with the streamlined Safari browser and the iPad's WiFi connection or 4G LTE network;

° Control essential iPad functions instantly by opening the Control Center from any screen;
