Update: You can now enable the
iPad orientation lock switch in iOS 4.3, this is allows you to adjust the side button to be either a rotation lock or mute button.
The saving grace of the Lenovo's exterior design comes by way of three things: front - and rear - facing camera lenses, a
screen orientation lock switch, and a volume rocker — the latter two which can be found on the tablet's upper right edge.
The iPad orientation lock used to be controlled by a switch on the side of the device, since iOS 4.2
the orientation lock switch has been changed to a mute switch, which functions just like the iPhone and iPod touch.
The top also houses
an orientation lock switch and a microSD card slot, which has a cover.
I'm sure there's always something that could be improved in anything, but quite honestly when it comes to the iPad right now I have trouble thinking of anything but the return of
the orientation lock switch.
It's nice to have a dedicated volume rocker, bump - resistant power switch, LED battery - life indicator, and particularly
an orientation lock switch all accessible with the lid closed, but they come at the expense of other ports.
Up top are volume controls,
an orientation lock switch and a plastic flap that hides the microSD slot.
The long sides include two stereo speakers with a covered proprietary docking port on one side, and a full - sized SD card slot,
orientation lock switch, volume rocker, and power button on the other.
