“Mystery key on iPad keyboard = Dashboard?”
MacRumors forum member macduke noticed this completely blank and apparently functionless key, and 9to5Mac picked up on his speculation concerning the mystery. 9to5Mac noted that it’s “…silly, even for Apple” to have a key on the keyboard that does nothing and goes nowhere, and they theorize it could have something to do with a Dashboard-like interface on the iPad.
I had noticed the blank key, and I think I mentioned it at the time, yet somehow it never occurred to me that it could be associated to unannounced functionality, and they just had blanked out the key’s label so that we couldn’t figure out what it meant.
Dashboard is indeed a perfect candidate. Also, Dashboard on the iPad may or may not entail a bit of multitasking there.
