Apple releases iOS 4.2 Golden Master to devs; iOS 4.2 jailbreak due 2 days after public release

“Apple has released iOS 4.2 build 8C134 for both iPad and iPhone/iPod touch devices, indicating the company is close to public release of the new operating system, originally slated for delivery this month,” Daniel Eran Dilger reports for AppleInsider..

“Apple’s chief executive Steve Jobs demonstrated iOS 4.2 at the company’s iPod event early in September, showing off new features such as AirPlay wireless streaming of audio, video and photos to the new Apple TV or other AirPlay-compliant devices, an expansion of the company’s existing, audio-only AirTunes feature,” Dilger reports. “Jobs also introduced the company’s entirely new AirPrint wireless printing architecture, designed to enable users to create hard copies of web pages, emails and photos managed through a new Print Center app.”

Dilger reports, “The new update will also finally bring multitasking features and iOS Folders to the iPad, along with a variety of other features currently only available on the iPhone and iPod touch, such as support for multiple email aliases, a unified inbox, and messages organized by threads in Mail, and the ability to open attachments in third party apps.”
