Apple Stores are selling out of the iPad 3G according to checks done by AppleInsider.
All ten of the stores contacted by the site were sold out of the 3G model in all storage capacities. Some were even sold out of the Wi-Fi model.
Customers who want the iPad 3G, first released last Friday, can sign up for Apple’s “Notify Me” service, which will e-mail customers when the product comes back in stock. Those who sign up for the list have first priority on the iPad 3G, and will have 24 hours to pick up the device when it arrives in store.
Apple’s online store has a waiting list of 5-7 business days for models of the iPad.

Making phone calls. Yes, you can use line2 to convert your iPad into a quasi-phone that accepts incoming calls, or fire up the Skype app, but for real-world use, nothing beats a device that you can stick into your pocket and then forget about.

An iPod widget and orientation lock have been discovered in the latest iphone OS 4.0 Beta, according to 9to5Mac.
If you flick to the left of your first window of open apps, you are greeted with a few new buttons. A stationary iPod button to quickly launch the app, iPod music controls, and Orientation lock. The orientation lock is just like on the iPad, but instead is controlled via this new menu. Tap once to lock in portrait, and again to unlock. The iPod music controls are similar to the ones that used to appear when you double clicked the home button.
It’s possible that Apple could expand on this functionality with future betas providing widgets that could perform other tasks.
