Birthdays, holidays, Mother’s or Father’s day, a token of appreciation, a thank-you… These are all valid reasons to buy an App or a music album and send it as a gift to family, friends or colleagues.
Think about it. How long does it take you to drive to a store, select a gift (or gift card), make the purchase, and drive back home?

From your iPad (and in a matter of a few minutes) you can select the desired gift, personalize it and send it directly to the inbox of your friend, relative, or co-worker. Sounds cool?! Want to know how to do this?

ipad-photo-album
A question I often get asked is how to create a photo album on iPad. We all like taking pictures to help us remember special occasions or our travel adventures.

By having each album labelled, it is so much easier to show our pictures and share our stories with friends.
