Thing #2 - Tips and Tricks

I tried out & found the following tips/tricks helpful for my iPad:
- Closing Apps: Never knew that just hitting the home screen wasn't closing an app..... I had like 20 apps open! It didn't seem to be affecting the speed of my iPad, but it just seems like a good thing to actually close apps...
- Turning off notifications - Most of the apps I use are purely for entertainment, so I really don't need to receive notifications from them. Now, I no longer will :)
- Tips to extend battery life: I've noticed that my battery life seems to drain more quickly than I think it should, so hopefully the setting changes I made will help that

Thing 1

What do I hope to learn from 23 Mobile Things.... I know this is very obvious and generic, but I am really hoping to expand my knowledge of apps and types of apps. I tend to be a person that has my 5-8 apps that I use on a regular basis, and doesn't really search out new apps too often (except when I'm waiting in say the doctor's office and look for new game apps to download). So I'm looking to spread my wings and expand my horizons. (wow -are there enough cliches in this post yet?) Onward and upward!!
