iPad Tip

  • Here is a tip for all those early adopters who have an Apple iPad. One of the differences between the iPad and an iPhone is the switch above the volume control on the device. On an iPhone this is a mute switch, but on the iPad this is an orientation lock switch. Most users would presume there is no quick way to mute the device. However, by holding down the volume down switch for around 2 seconds the iPad will be muted. Be aware, this does require the iPad to be unlocked to work.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
