At the bottom of the screen, your iPad initially displays four app icons (Safari, Mail, Photos, and iPod). This area acts like the Dock in Mac OS. It displays its apps at all times, even if you switch to a different Home screen pane. If you find yourself using certain apps all the time, you may want to place those apps on this Dock area so they will always be available. You can put up to six applications on the Dock.
To add an app icon to the Dock, follow these steps:
At the Home screen, touch and hold the app icon that you want to move to the Dock. All your app icons start wriggling. You can release your finger.
Drag the app icon to the Dock and then lift your finger off the screen. Your app now appears on the Dock.
Press the Home button to stop all your app icons from wriggling.
If you find that you don't use certain apps on the Dock often enough to justify having this app icon appear all the time, you can always move them off the Dock by following these steps:
At the Home screen, touch the app icon that you want to move off the Dock until all your app icons start wriggling.
Drag the app icon off the Dock, move the app icon anywhere on the screen, and then lift your finger off the screen.
Press the Home button to stop all your app icons from jiggling.
