New Button Added To iPad

Mar 13 2010, 11:34am CST | by Robert Evans

The iPad pre-ordering has begun. Apple has put out new information on the iPad, and as a result we've started to see some new information on the upcoming tablet. iPad Insider reports that a button has been “secretly” slipped into the iPad between the keynote address, and now.

The new button is located right underneath the On/Off switch. It is called the “screen rotation lock”, and will do exactly what it sounds like. Click it, and your pad will not rotate between landscape and portrait when you turn it. Not exactly groundbreaking, but good to know!
