Want to have your iPad 2 or iPhone 4 device search Wikipedia or the Web, without even having to manually open a Safari browser?

The iPhone 4 / iPad 2 have enhanced camera functionality (FYI: the predecessor models had only one camera, while the new devices now actually have two: forward facing and rear facing).  The new cameras also have functionalities the old one did not, like:

Camera Flash
Open the Camera app; there’s a flash icon at the top left of the screen (looks like a lightning bolt).

Sometimes our iPad 2 or iPhone 4 has 10 or more apps suspended but still running, draining battery life.  To close the apps, double click on the home button until the Shortcut Menu appears.  Now tap and hold on any shortcut icon until they begin to wiggle.  You’ll notice a red bar appear at the top left of each app that’s running.  Click on that bar to close the app.  It will shut it down and unpin it from the Shortcut Menu.

Did you know that your iPad 2 and iPhone 4 has the capability to create folders?  If you’re an app fanatic, you may have pages full of app icons on your device.  Now you can neatly organize the icons into folders of your own design.
