iOS 4.2 Released

After a long wait, apple has finallly released iOS 4.2 for the iPad. Around 5 months  since iOS4 was released for the iPhone. Anyway it is here now and it brings much needed multi-tasking, folders and AirPrint. The update also brings AirPlay, which lets you stream content on your iOS 4.2 device to an new Apple TV or an AirPlay compatible speaker and the Find My iPhone service is now free for all current generation hardware. 

It's not all good news with this update though. As Apple has changed the switch above the volume rocker from a rotation lock to a mute button. I liked that button, please change it back Apple? Please?

You can update to iOS 4.2 through iTunes right now and see the devices available for upgrade below.

iPad Running iOS 4.2 Beta 2 (Video)

It turns out that the iPad's multitasking features on iOS 4.2 are slightly different than on the iPhone. In the video below is an iPad running the upcoming November iOS 4.2 release for the iPad with it's very own multitasking animation, nothing major but it's still nice to see a slight difference between the two devices.
