If you’re an iPad owner, you probably jumped for joy when Steve Jobs mentioned something about the coming iOS 4.2 for iPad. Who wouldn’t be glad about this short, passing-through mention by Steve? After all, we iPad owners, have all been waiting for this for a couple of months now since iOS 4.2 came out for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Anyway, aside from that short mention, Apple has also put up an official software-update announcement for iOS 4.4 for iPad which is slated to be released in November.
So, what will iOS 4.2 brings to our beloved iPad in terms of features and functionality. Well, aside from multitasking and app folders which everybody have been craving for, there are few other new features that Apple kept mum about. Specifically, these features include – the ability to print directly to a printer connected wirelessly and wireless streaming of videos, music, and photos from your iPad to the new Apple TV as well as stream music to AirPlay speakers and receivers including AirPort Express.
Other features that iOS 4.2 will bring to our iPads include:
- Game Center
- Better Email App
- Easily finding text on web pages
- Enhanced enterprise support
- Accessibility enhancements
- Keyboard and dictionary enhancements
So, which among these features are you excited to use on your iPad? As for me, I can’t wait to try out multitasking and folder option for app. I’ve amassed quite a number of iPad apps already and browsing through them one screen after another is getting pretty tedious. Can’t wait for November.
