iPad Screen Lock vs. Mute

While I was out of town for Thanksgiving Apple released the much anticipated iOS 4.2 upgrade, which adds several important features to the iPad like multitasking and folders. Perhaps the most controversial thing about the iPad upgrade is that Apple changed the function of the screen orientation lock switch to a sound mute switch, which I agree is a curious change for the iPad.

Having a mute button on a phone makes sense because you never know when someone is going to call, causing the phone to possibly ring at a bad time.
