Patently Apple has found new iPad design patents from China that show an extra 30-pin dock connector port that'll allow for landscape docking and a mysterious feature which may be Apple's "Smart Bezel Feature".
If this new design is real, it makes some sense (at least, more sense than a 7-inch iPad). Having the option to dock the iPad in landscape mode would double the convenience for iPad owners who, well, frequently dock their iPad.
The Smart Bezel Feature is a very interesting idea—one we think would be successful—but we don't know what Apple would do with it. Does it act like a hot corner or an extra button or is it more of a gesture area? The previous patent suggest a broad gesture area but putting it onto only the bottom left corner of the iPad makes it seem a little more limited in scope. If only they would create "hot corners" like the way Jesus imagined.
