I upgraded my iPad to iOS 4.2 today. I was so happy. Then I spent 30 minutes wondering why I lost my audio... until I remembered one of its new "features": Transform the iPad's screen lock into the mute switch.

Yes, I'm dumb. After writing and whining about it for months, I completely forgot about it. But if I forgot about it, you can count that most of the consumers who bought the iPad will be having the same reaction: Why there's no audio and why the bloody screen won't stay put in the position I want it to? In fact, everyone in Gizmodo staff testing the iOS 4.2 beta has hated this new "feature" for the last two months. They just couldn't get used to it.
