10.x.x updates are free. 10.x updates are not.

I completely agree and am not planning on upgrading as a result of the switch. All of the apps that I use are on my front page so it isn't like I need folders.
If it is the same multitasking that is on the iPod touch then it is a joke. The purpose was to make it so apps didn't have to reload but they are still getting cleared out of ram and when I open them from the multitasking bar they have to totally reload and log me in again...Really no different than just clicking on the button from my home screen.
I don't have a wireless printer so that isn't really a feature I need either.
I just don't see the point of upgrading for features I don't really need when I know how frustrated I am going to get with the rotation lock switch.
If my apps stop working at some point, I guess that means it will be time to move on to a better product that actually gives their users a choice.

Ahh okay. Thanks for the reply.
Unless they address screwing up the iPad rotation lock-switch, they can choke on the upgrade. I'm not trading one flick of a switch for 5 gestures. That's not an upgrade - that's self-abuse.
Of course. They've gotten used to a feature, and don't want it removed.
Why is it so hard for Apple to make this an option?
I am not doubting, but what do you use rotation lock for? I have never used that on my ipad.
its not hard at all,
apple just doesn't see the need for orientation lock.
I do prefer the rotation lock switch to changing it in the task tray. It's faster and when I need it then it's usually when I need it fast. We already have a fast mute by holding down the volume rocker. It still does the fast mute even in GM.
are you serious?! ios 4 is going to make the ipad so much better!

Well, to lock the rotation mainly... !
Just because you have never used it doesn't mean no-one else has, does it?
I agree to ignore iOS 4.2 only because of the orientation lock change is disproportionate to the other benefits we should get from it, but I think Apple are being stubborn idiots about this issue for no good reason. I'll be upgrading, but I will really miss the physical orientation lock.
So you're saying until now Apple, themselves, chose to assign the switch with a completely unnecessary function that they don't see the need for, and are now going to replicate that unnecessary function in software, for no reason.
That doesn't really make sense. Apple clearly see the need for it. They just seem to have decided that a switch that mutes the volume is more important than a switch that locks the orientation. So they are allowed to change their minds on the issue - but the paying customer who may well like it how it was, isn't given the same luxury. It's a shame.
Then why did apple put the lock in in the first place?
You tellin' me they don't know what they are doing?
So you'd rather wade through page after page of apps instead of getting folders with the new upgrade? I figure having folders would save me a lot more time than the two seconds more it will now take to lock the rotation. And I maybe use that switch once or twice a day (if that). I'd use folders constantly.
That doesn't look good...

I wasn't doubting the use of it! thats why I asked! I understand it locks the screen orientation, but i don't understand when it becomes useful. again i am not saying its not useful, i am just asking when it does become useful.
side thought: aren't you dyeing to get multitasking and folders and more?
I am saying apple is choosing to assign the switch to a necessary function that they have gotten many requests for. to replace a function that they are are putting on the taskbar.
That doesn't look good...

Apple just isn't hitting on all cylinders lately - misfires in several different directions....

Why make such a big deal out of something so small? If it's that much of a problem, jailbreak it!
I would not trust Appleinsider.
See:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/software-update/
Printing is still there.
Well different people will have different uses - for me I like to lock the orientation if I'm using the iPad in bed for instance, to stop it automatically switching about if I slightly move in the wrong direction.
Double click on home button, one flick to the right, and tap the lock button, and you're done. It takes 2 seconds, seriously.

You should give it a try, I'm sure you won't regret it.
Also, 4.2 brings awesome features all across the board![]()
