Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts
iPad works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular
Internet-based email, contacts, and calendar service providers. If you don’t
already have an email account, you can get a free account online at www.yahoo.com,
www.google.com, or www.aol.com. To try a free MobileMe trial, go to
www.apple.com/mobileme.
For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate
environment, see “Setting Up Microsoft Exchange Accounts” on page 172 .
