iPadLot.com has been online ever since the iPad was announced on January 27, 2010. We’ve decided to change our name to better indicate what we do here – provide iPad news updates. Our aim has always been to bring you the latest iPad news, app reviews, accessory reviews, and anything else related to our favorite Apple device.
We also hope to bring you more original articles and insight on the iPad in the future. Since the site began, we’ve collected only the best and most up-to-date iPad news articles from across the Internet. Our goal is to create a comprehensive website that gathers the latest and best information about the iPad. There’s no need to browse several other websites in order to stay on top of the latest iPad news, we have it all right here!
Look for the switch from iPadLot.com to iPadNewsUpdates.com sometime next week.

Overview
The alphabetic book Animalia, by Graeme Base, with artful representations of animals and other items for each letter is now available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Now every page of the book is in digital form, and you’re given a hidden object game to go with it. You also get to find the little boy Graeme in brand new places as he moves about each time you find him.
Features
There are three game modes included on top of just the book itself. The first mode is explore Animalia where you’re given the task of finding four items for each page. Then there is the find Graeme mode where you need to find him three different times per letter with each one scored based on time taken. Finally there is what in the world mode where you’re given a silhouette with no particular page so you have to find the right letter and page, and then the item.

System controls on multitasking tray in iOS 4.2 beta for iPad showing screen orientation lock
One of the text notes accompanying AppAdvice’s video walkthrough of the new iOS 4.2 for iPad suggests that the physical switch on the iPad’s side for locking the screen orientation has been repurposed as a mute switch. The change has been confirmed by posters in our forums.
With the change, screen orientation locking is now accomplished within the multitasking tray as on the iPhone under iOS 4. Interestingly, the switch had been originally planned to be a mute switch but was repurposed as an orientation lock as revealed in publicity materials published just weeks before the device’s launch.

We’re getting reports from various sites that Apple has released the beta version of iOS 4.2 into the wild for developer testing. This is suppose to add a number of features, especially for the iPad, in the form of multi-tasking, AirPlay, folder organization, the ability to print from your iPad and more. Developers can access the beta through the Dev Center now.
This update is scheduled to come to consumers’ iPads sometime in November of this year, so devs will have a few months to tinker around with it before release.

Alongside today’s developer release of the first beta version of iOS 4.2, Apple issued a press release officially announcing the AirPrint feature that will allow iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches running iOS 4.2 to support wireless printing directly from the devices. HP will be the first to offer AirPrint compatibility with its ePrint line of printers.
Apple today announced that it is releasing a beta version of its AirPrint wireless printing for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch to members of Apple’s iOS developer program today, and that AirPrint will be included in the free iOS 4.2 software update in November. AirPrint automatically finds printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics to them wirelessly over Wi-Fi without the need to install drivers or download software. HP’s existing and upcoming ePrint enabled printers will be the first to support printing direct from iOS devices.
Apple’s Phil Schiller notes that AirPrint will require no user configuration, no drivers, and no additional software, allowing users to simply tap to print photos and documents on compatible printers.
AirPrint will be compatible with the iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch second-generation and later, leaving out the iPhone 3G among iOS 4-compatible devices.
