Rotation is key with iPad

An important part of coding for the iPad is that is has to support all orientations, since Apple is big on there being no wrong way to use an iPad. Users will expect to be able to pick up their iPad any way and have it work. To start supporting all orientations, we need each of our controllers to know that we want to do that.

We’re not fully supporting rotations yet.

The code is all set up to handle a rotation when you’re in the app.

At startup, iPad apps should show a launch image first, while they’re loading, like a splash screen. Apple’s HIG recommends that the image should be your actual initial user interface (minus specific data). Depending on the application, though, some people use actual splash screens.
