Okay. But where is iOS 4, for iPad? I was, perhaps naively, expecting that about now too.
Apple said it will be out in the Fall, or maybe they said late summer. But not now.
@NoSpamMan
Apple have already said it will be available this autumn.

It’ll be hard for even the posters on MDN to top the negative comments on Wired about this article.
@NoSpamMan
You must have missed the memo. iOS 4 for iPad is due in the “fall”. Don’t expect it until Dec 20th or so. It’ll be an early Xmas present!

iOS4 is great and I can’t live without folders given I already have over 350 apps installed on my 226 visible iPad. I am currently documenting the removal of 130 so I can reorganize them on our limping iOS 3.2 without folders. But when can I order my White iPhone 4 is the burning question in my mind. I’m hoping next week after the holiday? But I’m still checking the Apple Store app several times a day just in case the add White unannounced.
@NoSpamMan
Where the hell have you been?
Virtually every day since the WWDC 2010 keynote on June 7th, it has been repeated a dozen or more so a day.
Cripes, I would expect that there weren’t so many ignorant people around.
Thanks, mateys. Yes, I must have missed that announcement. Is it merely a resolution issue? They both have an A4 chip so I’m surprised they’ve put it off so long. Never can tell if these are purely technical reasons or business strategies.
Tanks.
There’s actually 12,169 apps for the iPad, but if Wired ever got basic facts straight, my head would probably explode.
@NoSpamMan
No kidding. I read about the iPhone 4 breakdown and they said it had virtually identical components as the iPad. Bummer they didn’t see fit to stick 512MB of RAM in the iPad.
Where, O, where is our iPad OS 4?
Back to the article…. there are some pretty weak additions there.
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” /> … there are a slew of great tools.
Aside from games…
Digits Calculator
Multi Measures HD
Netflix
Periodic Table of the Elements
Star Walk for iPad
Starmap HD
Solar Walk
WeatherBug Elite
Atomic Web Browser
UpNext 3D Cities
Qvik Sketch Pro
Mr. Reeee, do you really see Atomic browser useful? I’ve tried on several IE only sites and can’t seem to get Atomic and others like it to work, the site still picks it up as something other than IE and mangles the page or blocks entirely.
How many of those apps are actually new for the iPad and how many are just iPhone or re-worked iPhone apps?
1• Reeder for iPad $4.99
2• Craigslist Pro for iPad by IOCo $0.99 or CraigsPro Free for iPhone and iPad or CraigsEZList Pro for iPad by Jet Money Software for Free ?
3• Etude – Sheet Music on Steroids $4.99
4• BeeJiveIM for iPad $9.99
5• Comic Zeal Comic Reader 4 $7.99
6• iCab Mobile Web Browser $1.99
7• LogMeIn Ignition – Remote Access to your desktop or laptop Universal $29.99
8• Simplenote – Universal Free
9• Air Display by Avatron Software – Universal – external display for Macs $9.99
10• The Guardian Eyewitness only for iPad – Free
@DWY Atomic Browser is great. I don’t know about IE only sites, but it works well everywhere I go with it.
I like the Tabs and Private Browsing… PLUS I can change the interface colors.
Gots-ta have a purple browser.

Well, that seems to be the issue, most of the “other browsers” just seem to change the theme and basically wrap Safari, but the claims are that they can mask themselves as another browser.
I understand the concept, but on the iPad it just doesn’t seem to work.
@NoSpamMan @Mr.Reeee
Check out http://daringfireball.net/2010/06/marble_mystery_solved for a bit more on iPad vs. iPhone with iOS 4.
Apple released iOS 4 for the iPhone in conjunction with the iPhone 4. My guess is that they are holding off iOS 4 for the iPad because a product refresh is pending in the fall, and they will be released together.
jaundiced: “It’ll be hard for even the posters on MDN to top the negative comments on Wired about this article.”
=========================================
Are you kidding? MDN is like an absolute love-fest compared to the comments on Wired when any Apple related article is posted there.
Comic Zeal Comic Reader is superb. 5 stars.
I’ve downloaded some two hundred comic books
from the Golden Age for free from digitalcomic
museum.com and reading them on the iPad.
I’m having a ball. I’m 14 years old again!
WTF??? No Elements?!?!?
That app will blow anyone’s mind with its realism.
@solid:
I’ll defer to you on the comparison. But I know MDN, and MDN has NO, NONE, NADA, competition when it comes to being an Apple love fest website, sometimes against all common sense.
However, since I (mostly) buy in to it also, I can put up with it.
@Fat Basterd
That makes a lot of sense.
iPhone has 512M RAM and iPad does not. I wonder if iOS4 requires more RAM than the current iPAD has. iPad product update in the Fall? I was thinking the same thing.
What? No iElectribeon the list?
@NoSpamMan
Is it merely a resolution issue? They both have an A4 chip so I’m surprised they’ve put it off so long. Never can tell if these are purely technical reasons or business strategies.
I hope it’s a feature issue. I would love the ability to support multiple users on my iPad. It’s not very necessary with my iPhone, but everyone around the house wants to use my iPad and having different user accounts would be awesome.
Regarding iOS 4 512MB of RAM is not required since it installs on 2008 & 2009 iPod Touch and iPhone models albeit not with multitasking on the 2008 models. But Folders are for me the number one reason to have iOS 4. I’ve got it on all three of my 2008 & 2009 devices and it works great on all of them. So it must be the resolution issue that’s holding it up for iPad. I am so into Folders, I no longer have any loose icons on any of my devices. Being able to have 48 apps in the dock plus 192 on each of the 11 pages is awesome! Makes dedicating each page to a genre or two easy.
