I actually dislike it when this happens because I have to download the ~2.5GB dev kit again on my crappy connection before I can publish again. Or am I doing it wrong? Note: posted in other thread, but this one looks like it'll be the one.
Improvements for iPhone: - AirPlay - The Find My iPhone feature is now free to use without a MobileMe℠ subscription - AirPrint ("a next-generation Wi-Fi print architecture that dramatically simplifies printing by completely eliminating printer drivers") (thanks, rufo) The free Find feature is only for "iPhone 4, iPad or new iPod touch (4th generation)"
Printing, also.
This is the first release common to iOS devices.
For me, CoreMIDI is the most expected feature… http://synth.me/music-gear/apple-announces-native-midi-suppo...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can enable non-AirPrint printers by sharing them through iTunes 10 (PC) or Mac OS X 10.6.5 (Mac).
You could in earlier dev releases but not in the later ones (including, apparently, the public releases today). Apple hasn't made a public statement that I've seen saying whether that feature is coming back. On the plus side, some cheap 3rd party utilities have already sprung up to add that feature.
But other reviews I've seen, including MacWorld's, seem to imply that printing to a shared printer isn't supported.
I've built printing into my iOS app, so I'm a bit desperate to determine what the status is exactly. It's so frustrating because it works fine in iOS 4.2 beta, and the difference between AirPrint-compatible printers only and supporting any printer is HUGE (obviously).
Not available as of 14:14 here in the UK (on GMT). (Bloody Californians think their time zone is the centre of the universe. Grump.)
It's for iOS 4.0 but can be changed to check for 4.2.
However, my experience is that downloads are pretty slow in the first hours, when a new major version becomes available. Patience is needed.
This is the first release common to iOS devices.
Unless you include AppleTV, which today is getting an iOS 4.1 update http://www.macworld.com/article/155879/2010/11/appletv.html
Has anyone tried iOS 4.2 on the iPhone 3G and could comment on the performance?
I'm wondering though, if this will be the last version iOS that supports the iPhone 3G.
I can't be the only one who uses the iPad's orientation lock button frequently... The very impractical decision to transform it to a mute button is enough of a frustration that it will be a good while before I can convince myself to upgrade to an otherwise compelling release.
