Yeaaaah, go to the screen rotation thread like pointed out by SweetPoison.
Don't forget the popcorn

And maybe bring an own opinion on the topic, too, and may some philosophical stuff, too....

The more, the better....

If you double click the 'home' button, it brings up the 'multi-tasking' bar at the bottom of the screen. Here you can see the tasks that are running. If you hold down (any) one of the icons they start to 'jiggle' and each has a cross in the top left hand corner. Press an icon to force that task to close.

If you 'right swipe' the multi-task bar you will find that a 'special' bar appears that allows you to control the 'ipod' app. But, at the far left hand side is an icon that allows you to lock the screen rotation. I guess that Apple thought we wanted to mute the volume more often than lock the screen rotation!

Heh and it does not even do THAT correctly. This whole thing is one huge Apple FAIL.

I really love the JB style of locking my screen.
I now have my screen orientation button back where it belongs (in my opinion). I don't care that my iPad is muted when the screen is locked, but this may be sorted out later.
And accessing all the other stuff (wifi, BT, etc.) is faster, too. A swipe at the upper bar on the iPad, touch the option you want and there you go.
Also, closing any opened folder once you touched the app you want to start is a big plus in my opinion

I see CNET has a youtube video (in Flash unfortunately) that shows how the gestures and stuff works in 4.2 beta. Pretty slick.

How ironic that you can't view a video about an iPad from an iPad.
