iOS4.2 is out

I just got an e-mail from Apple that I can download and install iOS 4.2 to my iPad. Now all I gotta do is get home where I can hook up with WiFi and get it. Yay.

Here is the link on Apple.com

If you get tired of that iPad, you can always give it to me!

Wonder if they're going on sale tomorrow?

Thought so. Probably not, looking at it. I'll have to fix that.

Look like a Hanvon Color to me...definitely not an iPad.

Just so you don't confuse yourself too much, I believe it is iTunes via a usb/computer to which you need to connect for downloading the update, not wifi. At least, we needed to on my wife's iPad.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. My laptop, which is yoked to my iPad has 3G when I'm at work, since my employer is basically down on us enjoying ourselves. So I have to get home to use the WiFi, since 3G borks out in the middle of huge downloads.

4.2 is awesome on my iPad. Not digging the fact that they changed the function on the 'lock orientation" button on the side, but other than that, it's a nice update.

You can download the ipsw manually from any computer then copy the file to your itunes pc. This is what I did (downloaded it at work and copied to a usb key) and then used shift-click on upgrade button and chose the firmware.

I could have went the extra step and placed in the proper folder and iTunes would see it.

Only had 1 day of using it but so far, very happy. Everything is working fine, love the multitasking and really love having folders.

Anyone notice a slight speed increase when browsing the web? Just a tad.

I've posted already about the minor problem I had with iBooks. (I had to remove all the pdf's before it would upgrade and get back the Books/PDFs button). This might have been caused by me having to upgrade iTunes to version 10 before it would accept iOS v4.

Even though my iPad is just wi-fi, it now has the Airplane Mode On/Off selection in Settings. I suppose I could use it when I fly, just to be doubly sure Angry Birds isn't driving the plane into a mountainside.
