No fullscreen scrolling album art?

Checking out the iPad and much to my surprise i cannot locate the fullscreen scrolling album art view on the iPod app. Surely the iPad has this since even the iPhones do this. Was this view left out or am i just missing the view option?

Macbook Black, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi,

Just taping the album cover in the lower left corner of the iPod app.

You can find this and more information on page 83 of the iPad User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPad_UserGuide.pdf

That is not what Im referring to but after figuring out exactly what the view is referred to by apple, which is "Cover Flow", I found that it does not exist on the iPad !!! Apple must really be on crack to leave out a signature feature such as this. I see absolutely no reason to leave it out.. so yeah. on crack.

I never noticed this until rx22g brought it up. Coverflow is indeed a signature Apple feature....in iTunes, iPhones, in everything Apple. But, NOT on iPads? I can't believe this. There must be a "trick" that we're missing.

After reading a few online sources it's not something we have overlooked but something apple just decided to levee out. What's going to really suck is if they release an OS update that adds this feature that has already existed on older devices and previous OS versions...AND charge for it. Even if they don't charge it will be embarrassing to see them list it as "new" feature.
