About the App Store

Use the App Store to add applications to iPad. Browse, purchase, and download
applications specifically designed for iPad, or for iPhone and iPod touch.

Applications you download from the App Store and install on iPad are backed up
to your iTunes library the next time you sync. When you sync, you can also install
applications on iPad that you purchase through iTunes on your computer. iPad
works with virtually all iPhone and iPod touch applications, so if you already have
applications for your iPhone or iPod touch, you can sync them to iPad from your Mac
or PC. Use them at their original size, or tap in the bottom-right corner of the screen
to expand them.

Note: The App Store and some applications are not available in all areas. Application
availability and pricing are subject to change.

To use the App Store, iPad must have an Internet connection. See “Connecting to the
Internet
” on page 33. You also need an iTunes Store account (not available in some
countries) to download applications. iPad gets your iTunes Store account settings from
iTunes. If you don’t have an iTunes Store account, or if you want to make purchases
from another iTunes Store account, go to Settings > Store. See “Store” on page 132.

Browsing and Searching

Browse Featured to see new, notable, or recommended applications, or browse Top
Charts to see the most popular applications. If you’re looking for a specific application,
use Search.
Browse applications: Tap Featured, Top Charts, or Categories at the bottom of the
screen.
