Some trivial notes on the iPad
Good notes.
(I’ll be honest: you can expect a lot of iPad-related posts from me in the near future, given that it’s the next big thing and all. Caveat tumblor.)
- True to the iPad’s promise of “no preferred orientation”, the home screen can be used horizontally (unlike the iPhone’s). As far as I can tell, though, this is not the case with the Keynote app.
- Apple’s case has a handle-looking thing on the back. (steelopus points out this is actually a flap you tuck the front into when you use the case as a stand. I can sure imagine people trying to use it as a handle, though…)
- The case and the dock are $39; the keyboard dock is $69 (same as the Apple wireless keyboard by itself.)
- While Bluetooth keyboards are supported, bluetooth mice, of course, aren’t (think about it.)
- The only major new thing in Settings is Picture Frame, the thing where you can tap a button on the lock screen to start a slideshow.
- Check out that cute typographic ornament on the popover in the iBooks app.
- Flickr user Nathan C. has the iPad wallpaper for you.
