Apple: iPad News and Discussion Thread
If you are talking about the OS screens, I agree. Doesn't make sense as to why they don't enable it when apps are capable of being locked in landscape mode.

Miz I found your reason to Jailbreak! This allows you to stream 3rd party apps and web videos over airplay.

Meh. Broke down and bought it.
Still buying the new one when it comes out. Wife will get this one whether she wants it or not
And I just bought her some diamond stud earrings at 1 carrat each shell get as a surprise when I finally get home in 3 weeks. So she won't be able to say boo to me.

Engadget posted an article today about the next gen, no surprises but I wonder what the new touch tech will be...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/26/n...-camera-usb-p/
The new report says that the next iPad will be out in Q1 2011, will have dual cameras, a new display with new touch tech, and a USB port for working with third party devices.

Apple usually offers good refurb deals on previous gen macs. I wonder if they will do that for current gen iPad when the new revision comes out. They must have a pretty decent size inventory of iPads.
Does anyone have a link to a good guide on jailbreaking the iPad 4.1.2?
I wish Spirit would release their tool for the 4.1.2. The one they did for 3.2 was almost easier than taking a

They better because I think the Foxy whatever will start making 2nd gen in Feb, if net rumors/reports are true. But they won't be released until April.

i wonder what that larger open is for anyways, cause i dont think a speaker would need such a large opening
A pair of images showing claimed cases for the next-generation iPad have surfaced, with the images and accompanying information suggesting that the device may sport both a rear-facing camera and an SD card slot.
One image comes from Shenzhen MacTop Electronics (via iLounge) and depicts the rear shell of a white case claimed to be for the next-generation iPad. An opening in the top left corner of the case suggests that, if the case design is based on actual knowledge of the product, the next iPad will feature a rear-facing camera.
A front-facing camera has been widely expected to be included in the next-generation iPad as Apple seeks to expand availability of its FaceTime video chat service, but there have been conflicting reports as to whether the company will also include a rear-facing camera.
The case also features an opening on the side in the location of the mute switch and volume rocker on the present model, as well as an opening in the center of the bottom, presumably for the dock connector. A second, larger opening is located to the left of the dock connector, in the present location of the device's speaker.
A second image, posted at Kodawarisan [Google translation], shows a pair of back shells in white and black for cases also claimed to be for the next-generation iPad. As in the other image, these cases show an opening for a rear-facing camera in the top left corner.
Also visible is a hole at the right side of the top edge of the case in the location of the headphone jack on the current model, as well as a side opening in the location of the current mute switch and volume rocker, although the opening appears smaller than would be required for the present layout. While accommodation for the dock connector is not readily visible in this image, the mysterious large opening to the left of the dock is present.
Interestingly, the description accompanying the image makes mention not only of a FaceTime camera but also an SD card slot. It is unknown, however, whether the opening at the bottom left is intended to be for such a slot. The current iPad lacks an SD card slot, with Apple offering a $29 kit providing a pair adapters to allow users to move photos to their iPads via either SD card or USB through the device's dock connector.
Update: Repair firm Powerbook Medic has discovered another set of claimed next-generation iPad silicone cases also showing a hole for a rear-facing camera and a rectangular cutout serving an unknown purpose in the same locations as the other cases.
Update 2: A video showing off several versions of the "Crystal Case" previously cited by iLounge has also been posted.
Update 3: M.I.C gadget has posted even more photos of silicone cases claimed to be for the next-generation iPad.

I ordered a refurb 32G Wi-Fi... I think I'm going to give it to the wife for Christmas and get myself a 3G in January for my trip to Shanghai.
Anyone buy a Wi-Fi and regret not getting the 3G? I probably wouldn't use AT&T's data plan, but the GPS might be nice...

I did initially. I bought the WiFi only when it first came out, but returned it for several reasons (one of which was I thought I needed the 3G). I have a 3G now and have very rarely ever used it. I think I could've gotten away with keeping the WiFi model. But it's nice to know its there, just in case. I've been traveling a lot for work lately, and it seems like every airport, hotel, coffee shop, restaurant, etc. has free WiFi now.
