If you're an iPad owner, you've probably been on pins and needles
lately. That's because back in September, Apple announced that a full-
scale update to the tablet's OS would be coming in the form of iOS
4.2, bringing a slew of new features to the device. Included in that
laundry list is proper iOS 4-style multitasking, folders, major mail
improvements, Game Center integration, and Safari enhancements (like
find-in-page text searches). Besides those features, the company has
been touting two other big changes that could cause a major shift in
the way you use your iPad -- namely, AirPrint and AirPlay. Both
additions leverage your WiFi network, certain connected printers, and
the new Apple TV in an attempt to make the company's slate less like a
distraction and more like the center of your digital life.
When the update was originally announced, we took you on a walkthrough
of the early developer beta. Though 4.2 will roll out to the iPhone
and iPod touch, we wanted to focus on the iPad version, as it
represents a major change for the platform. We've had a chance to
spend time with the final version of the OS (which is actually 4.2.1
now), and put it through its paces. We've updated our original guide
and given the finished product a critical once over, so read on for
our full review!
