Lol... Yeah I know about the software solution... I was saying, there's no hardware solution for an orientation lock now, when there's 2 for muting...

I think some balls were fumbled...

Umm... I didn't see a poll on it, and I was curious about the general response from users (as you can see, it really isn't as bad as I've made it out to be...), apologies if the recurrence of such a topic bothers you...

It happens, Jason. Tried to warn you, babe.

Meh... :-) No harm in disengaging peacefully... Plus, now I know that many others aren't half as particular about the orientation lock change as I am... So no need for an uproar after all... (damn)

To you maybe but some people actually used it for a screen lock, like I did. I don't use my iPad for music very much so being able to use it as a mute is rather stupid. This is especially true when the all you have to do is hold down volume button down for a few seconds and it's muted!

Hey if the critics don't like the post they don't need to click on it, do they? Some people have WAY too much time on their hands and need to take a chill pill.

Unlike the iPhone, the iPad doesn't fit in your pocket and as such you really don't need to change settings like volume and lock by touch.
