“Set for release in November, the biggest changes in iOS 4.2 come for iPad owners, who will finally see their touchscreen tablet upgraded to iOS 4 with new features like multitasking and folders,” AppleInsider reports. “All iOS device owners will also gain printing capabilities via AirPrint.”

MacDailyNews Take: We’re sorely tempted to upgrade our iPads, but alas, we need our MyWi. We’ll have to wait a bit.

AppleInsider continues, “Accessibility to FaceTime will become even greater in iOS 4.2, as a direct video chat link is now included in the iPhone’s built-in text messaging application.
