* Note: the wording of the answer isn't very clear "Another notable addition is a new software button for locking the screen orientation" (see comments below).

    It could be either - if they had written 'Lock Screen Orientation' as one of the answers then that would be the one to choose but having both 'Lock Screen' and 'Screen Orientaion' makes it a bit of a pain to answer.

    As you used the button on the side to lock the screen, (changing the screen orientation depends solely on the orientation of the iPad), I would suggest that Lock Screen is the more correct answer.

    Hi,

    Well after reading the review;

    "Another notable addition is a new software button for locking the screen orientation, This replaces the use of the physical switch on the side. This switch now mutes the iPad - just like Apple’s iPhone 4."


    I would go with Screen Orientation

    I have an ipad with the updated software and would say that teh answer is "Lock Screen".

    The switch locked the screen in its orientation and didn't control the orientation so... lock screen would be my answer.
