The Undocumented Features and Tips thread

[jonnyb]

I'm sorry that I can't contribute any of my own discoveries yet, as I'm in the UK and don't have an iPad yet.. While I'm waiting to pre-order mine, though, I'd love to hear about any undocumented features you're all discovering, and any other tips tricks and Easter eggs.

Since the toggle switch is now an on/off rotation switch. I discoverd that if you simply hold the volume rocker to "down" no matter what volume it will instantly mute your device!

Hope this comes to the iPhone 4G!

If you find your iBook app on your computer, rename the extension to .zip, open it up and browse until you find WTP.epub and you can drag the ebook that it comes with into iTunes.

Sorry, that's all I've got.
