Interested in how to get network AirPrint working again via your Windows PC? Without much of an explanation, AirPrint was severely gutted just prior to iOS 4.2's release, retaining support for only a small handful of wireless printers. However, we recently posted on how to restore network printing to Mac OS X 10.6.5, and now we're here to tell you how to restore it to Windows 7 as well. Check our easy to follow step-by-step instructions after the break!

Review Of iOS 4.2 For The iPad - Apple Gazette

Fingers On Review Of iOS 4.2 For The iPad

Posted by: Tanner Godarzi on Nov 23, 2010

Apple released iOS 4.2 yesterday for the iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone. Here's my 'fingers on' review with 4.2 for the iPad.

iOS 4.2 measure measures up pretty well. I use my iPad as my main 'computer'; it goes with my everywhere. I make a living from it doing freelance writing so it's important that nothing breaks because of a Software update. I didn't experience any problems updating to the latest version of 4.2 from the first Gold Master build (that had the odd Wifi and VOIP bugs) or upgrading from 3.2 to 4.2.

Multitasking

I feel as if iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a new tablet but the update is a few months overdue. Multitasking and Folders came to the iPhone and iPod Touch before the iPad – knowing that functionally was available for a smaller device and would require a 4 to 5 month wait wasn't enjoyable. Multitasking on the iPad works, it's not something you can rave about because its something that should have been there from day one and is a means to an end. It's fast though – the A4 coupled with 256 MB of RAM can handle running dozens of Apps.

However, multitasking on the iPad does hit a glass ceiling every know and then but it doesn't sound like your typical breaking glass. Instead, your music is paused. This has happened to me a few times; I'll be rocking out to a breakdown and listening to song break down in an anti-climatic fade out. At least my running Apps aren't affected but it's something you should be aware of.

AirPrint & AirPlay

Both features are great to have on the iPad and push it in the direction of becoming a tablet with computer features instead of a computer trying to be a tablet. I've tried AirPrint using a shared printer connected to my Mac and it worked great. Under 3.2, sites that offered a printing feature wouldn't even load to at least get to a PDF or view an image of something to print. AirPrint automatically brings up a printing dialogue giving you a few options but nothing beyond the standard "print this page x amount of times."

AirPlay works much the same way but pushes your content to an AppleTV or compatible device. I streamed a rented movie to an AppleTV without a hiccup.

Folders And Unified Mail

Folders work just like they do on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Folders are another method to organize your Apps but Folders on the iPad can hold up to 20 Apps per folder. The unified mail view is extremely helpful and makes grouping messages much easier. A lot more space is cleared up thanks to threaded messages.

iOS for the iPad is great – it finally brings Folders and Multitasking support along with AirPlay and AirPrint support. 4.2 is paving the way for the iPad to be a serious, serious tablet with a lot of expandability.

Apple ships iOS 4.2 update for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch

By Rob Pegoraro

The iPad can now walk and chew gum at the same time, digitally speaking, thanks to the iOS 4.2 update Apple released Monday.

This upgrade of Apple's mobile operating system, which Apple previewed at its early September press event, gives Apple's tablet computer the approximation of multitasking that newer iPhones gained with June's iOS 4 update.

As before, iOS doesn't help an iPad run multiple third-party applications at once. Instead, it provides an excellent simulation of that by quickly suspending and resuming them -- and allowing them to hand over background tasks like Web-radio playback to Apple's operating system.

And as with earlier updates, you can't install this one by downloading it directly to an iPad. You first need to connect that or any other compatible Apple mobile device -- an iPhone 3G or newer, or a second-generation iPod Touch or newer -- to a computer running the current, 10.1 release of Apple's iTunes to download and install this download. Budget some time for that task, as this requires a 551-megabyte download, followed by a complete backup and restoration of your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch's contents.

Beyond multitasking, iOS 4.2 adds two other long-awaited features, each of which comes with potentially frustrating restrictions.

AirPlay, allows you to sling a video you're watching on an iPad over to an Apple TV, as if the two were connected by a video cable. (Some other audio devices also support AirPlay music streaming.) But not all iOS programs work with AirPlay. Hulu Plus, for example, apparently does not.

The other, AirPrint, does away with complicated workarounds by letting you print directly from an iDevice to an AirPrint-compatible printer. But for now, only a small set of newer HP models support this feature.

In other respects, iOS 4.2 serves as a catch-up release for the iPad, adding features that arrived on the iPhone and the iPod Touch in September's iOS 4.1 update: the ability to rent TV shows from the iTunes Store, a "unified inbox" view of new messages in multiple e-mail accounts, the GameCenter hub and the ability to organize applications in separate onscreen folders, among others.

But this update brings an unexpected benefit for some customers: free use of the "Find My Phone" feature that Apple debuted last year as a component of its $99/year MobileMe service. As Apple's press release clarifies, only the newest iOS devices get this freebie: the iPad, the iPhone 4 or the fourth-generation iPod Touch.

My own WiFi-enabled printer is not on among the models that support AirPrint, but I do have a review Apple TV, so I'll be updating this post with a recap of how AirPlay works. In the meantime, what else would you like to know about iOS 4.2? And if you've installed it yourself on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, how do you like it so far?

Atomic Web Browser Goes 4.0: Adds Video Output, New Gesture, And Plenty More

Posted by Casey Tschida on: November 20th, 2010, 9.51 pm

As the mobile web browser wars rage on, developers need to continue improving and adding features to not only win over Safari uses but their competition. Atomic Web Browser already contained some of the most sought after features like tabs, full screen mode, and in-page searching, but what else does RichTech's offering provide?

Some of the highlighted features of Atomic Web Browser include the ability to use multitouch gestures for navigation, change browser identification, view page source, ad-blocking, save a copy of a web page, share a URL via social-network or email, screen orientation lock, privacy mode, and auto-fill.

General additions in Atomic Web Browser v4.0 contain video output, web page compression using Google Mobilizer integration, saving web pages now supports PDFs, and a newly assignable gesture: shake.

This latest release now allows assigning Find in Page / Search Engines, Enter URL, Close all tabs, Share Link through Facebook, Share Link through Twitter, and Share Link through Email actions to a gesture or made available as a button in full screen mode.

When it comes to URL entry, some additional features can become overbearing and tiresome if not used frequently. In this case, RichTech now allows the option to enable or disable URL suggestions, automatic appending a .com or other suffix to incomplete addresses, and an automatic clear of the address bar when tapped on.

The maintenance fixes in this update are comprised of corrections to links not loading on iGoogle News gadget, periodic crash crash when images were turned off, and a possible display issue when rotation lock was enabled.

Atomic Web Browser is a universal application compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Get your copy from the App Store for just $.99.

Atomic Web Browser Lite v3.5 is available as a free download from the App Store, however, it lacks features such as web page saving, setting a custom home page, page source viewing, ad-blocking, gestures, and any of Atomic Web Browser v4.0′s recent additions.

New Gorillaz album to be produced on an iPad

Mega-famous Gorillaz front man and songwriter Damon Albarn has revealed that he has been recording the next Gorillaz album on his iPad. Remember how the iPad is just a device for consumption?

Reported in music magazine NME on November 13, Albarn says, "I've made it on an iPad--I hope I'll be making the first record on an iPad."

The album, according to NME, could be released before Christmas this year.

Albarn continued, saying, "I fell in love with my iPad as soon as I got it, so I've made a completely different kind of record." Gorillaz fans are sure to be looking forward to this, but many techies will most likely take a look as well. The iPad has been touted as a great media consumption device, but critics have continued to knock its ability to be a productivity tool.

Having a major recording artist produce an entire album on the iPad should hopefully sway some of those naysayers.

iOS 4.2 Central: Delayed release of the new iOS 4.2

By admin • Nov 13th, 2010 • Category: iPhone

Here at iOS 4.2 Central we will bring you all the latest news and information about Apple's release of the new iOS 4.2 for iPhone, iPod Touch, and the Apple iPad, including breakdown of new features and changes.

Latest iOS 4.2 News

All the latest news and updates on the released of iOS 4.2

IOS 4.2 DELAYED UNTIL END OF NOVEMBER

According to The Telegraph sources close to Apple has said that the release of iOS 4.2 for iPhone and iPad has been pushed back to the 24th November .

It was expected that Apple would release iOS 4.2 at the same time as they announced the release of new iTunes 10.1, but due to reported issues with Apple iPad Wi-Fi in the latest GM release to developers Apple has had to push the launch back slightly. An updated version of iOS 4.2 for iPad was released to developers at the same time as iTunes 10.1 was released.

One can argue that this is not actually a delay as when Apple announced the new iOS 4.2 they just said that an expected release date would be in November.

What is iOS 4.2 and new features

iOS 4.2 is considered a small upgrade to iOS 4 and 4.1, but it will add some marquee new features for both the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the Apple iPad, including the new Apple AirPlay technology as well as some bug fixes.

Here are the key new features and upgrades that comes to the iPhone and iPod Touch as part of the iOS 4.2 upgrade. We will also soon post a similar overview of features in the new iOS 4.2 for Apple iPad, which differs slightly from the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Apple's release of iOS 4.2 held up by Wi-Fi issues - rumor [u]

By Sam Oliver

Published: 08:10 AM EST

Though previous reports alleged that iOS 4.2 would become available on Friday, new rumors suggest the software update for the iPhone and iPad will come next week, on Nov. 16, or perhaps even later to address purported Wi-Fi issues [updated].

The "most likely" release is next Tuesday, Nov. 16, according to iPhoneHellas. The same site previously had accurate reports indicating the release time of Apple's iOS software updates.

In addition, references to a Nov. 12 launch that were allegedly found in previous builds of iOS 4.2 carrier bundles have been removed, providing more evidence that the update may not be issued until next week at the earliest.

But another report from MacStories claims that the software has been delayed due to issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. It alleged that Apple is preparing a new gold master that will be issued to developers soon.

The Friday launch was rumored earlier this week, in a report that also said that Mac OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 would arrive on Wednesday. That turned out to be half true, as Apple released its latest update to the Snow Leopard operating system, but did not issue an update for iTunes.

iOS 4.2 is Apple's eagerly awaited software update for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It will mark the debut of iOS 4 on the iPad, bringing features like folders and multitasking that iPhone and iPod touch owners have enjoyed for months.

The update will also bring AirPrint and AirPlay to the mobile devices, though support for shared printers in Mac OS X 10.6.5 was axed at the last minute for still-unknown reasons. The ability to stream video from an iOS 4.2 device to an Apple TV through AirPlay will also require a software update for the Apple TV.

For iPhone users, iOS 4.2 will also bring the ability to create custom text message tones.
