If you already own an original iPad, however, did you know you have nearly all of the new features of the iPad 2? In this MacVoices appearance, Jeff Carlson talks with Chuck Joiner about what’s new in iOS 4.3 when dealing with media — playing video and audio, reading ebooks, and other media tasks — as part of a discussion about his timely title “Take Control of Media on Your iPad, Second Edition.” Follow the audio, or watch the discussion on video at MacVoices.tv. Read/post comments **Apple Faces In-App Purchase Class-Action Lawsuit** -- Ars Technica reports on a class-action lawsuit filed against Apple about the ease with which children could make in-app purchases of add-ons for programs within the 15-minute window after an iTunes password was entered to install or update an app. iOS 4.3 added a separate in-app password requirement (see “iOS 4.3 Now Prevents Inadvertent In-App Purchases,” 11 March 2011).
