iOS 4.2 Beta Available for Download (for Developers, That Is)

Recommended Videos

Hate to go with two ‘someone just released a beta of something’ type posts in a row, but it’s that kind of day! Apple has released the first developer’s build of the much-anticipated iOS 4.2 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch through its Dev Center. Yes, that means multitasking for the iPad, although only iOS developers will be able to download it from thence. Apple has also put out a press release formally announcing AirPrint, the wireless printing architecture that Apple showed off at its fall event.

For non-developers, iOS 4.2 will be available to the rest of us as a free download in November.
