Thanks so much Esther. You mentioned landscape mode. Does this work in
portrait mode?

Hi Wendy,
Containers are an iPad specific rotor control that let you navigate
through sections of the screen that display content that would be on
separate screens on the iPhone. For example, try visiting the Mail
app or the Settings app in landscape mode, and setting your rotor to
"containers". If you explore the screen by touch, you'll note, for
example, that the left third of the screen contains the information on
your mailboxes, and the right two thirds of the screen contains the
mail message. Similarly, in the Settings app viewed in landscape mode
on an iPad, the left third of the screen contains the list of settings
("Airplane Mode", "Wi-Fi", "Bluetooth", "Cellular Data", etc.) and the
right two thirds of the screen has the detailed information for your
selected settings category. Navigating by containers provides you with
an easy way to move between these two parts of the screen. Try going
into the Mail app and setting your rotor to "containers". If you
start with your focus on the "Mailboxes" heading and flick down,
you'll first be moved to "All Inboxes" (the first in your list of
mailboxes), then the "Updated" time stamp that is the last element of
that container, then the "marked message button", which is the first
of the buttons for an individual email message, then "From" for the
area of the message header, then the body of the message. Navigating
by containers lets you quickly move between these sections, and then
you can flick to the item you want -- a particular mailbox, another
field in the mail header, the reply button, etc. This container
structure works in a similar fashion in other applications.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi all,
Last week I got an Ipad mini and I really love it. On the rotor there is
something call containers. What is this and how does it work?
