I had wondered since seeing the iPad Scrabble video on the Apple website whether people would catch on to developing dual display apps that could be used over two different iPads, perhaps connected via the same WiFi router. Particularly with mindmapping apps like iThoughtsHD or any other app where you may want to take information from one area and copy and paste it to another area between the two iPads using a shared copy and paste. Even just being able to see the same document at two different places, one on each iPad would be an interesting start at extending the dual screen experience of desktop/laptop computers to the iPad’s interface.

@Mert: Apple stongly encourages developers to support all interface orientations. But they will not reject apps that don’t. You will find many games, and apps that take over the full screen without any standard iPhone UI elements, will ony support one orientation.

I was just about to ask what kind of cable you used when I noted the framework name. Too bad.

I thought new applications for iPad were supposed to support all orientations. However, after installing some games on iPad I realized that this was not the case. I am confused. This was specifically underlined in Apple’s Development Program as a must. Any thoughts on this?
