Looking forward to it. I thought I had read that AirPrint was out of this release though.

You forgot to bash AT&T for us Americans. Sure, iOS4.2 includes "Find my iDevice" features that let you lock the device remotely, but with AT&T's crappy network, the thief probably wouldn't be able to make calls or browse the web anyway, so what's the point? Zing!

so are we looking forward to next year's alarm bug as well?

I find it odd that Apple indicates on their site that this is available and when I plug my iPhone in iTunes indicates that it has the most up-to-date version of the software (4.1).

One week ago i updated my 3GS from 4.0 to 4.1 and it was bricked for a day, until i figured out how to fix it.

I think i'll be sitting this one out.

Updated my 3G to iOS 4.2.1 a few min ago. I do not see any performance improvements so far. I am still experiencing lag during transitioning between apps, and while texting. I even performed a hard reset, still the same lag.

sigh....

... I should add that at least it didn't brick my phone, lol. If there is any performance improvement, it is minimal.

of COURSE they're going to be impressed! I take most of what EnD'Gadget writes with a pinch of salt. Heck, with the quick 'paid' reviews of products and CLEAR bios towards Apple, they're always going to say it's great.

Anyway, I hope the update goes well for anyone that needs it

Those who have lost their devices can use their computer to locate the device using its GPS, and have the phone display a message or play a sound. If the device has fallen into the wrong hands, the owner can even lock or remote wipe the device.

Next in the news: hackers found a way to access iPads, iPhones and iTouch to lock them or even wipe out the info.

 

[speedemon]

hmm, so its 4.1 for the ipad and nothing changes with the iphones..

A friend of mine updated and it took him 10 min, but another acquitance said it took him 3 hours. There seem to be a lot of horror stories with this update.

Meanwhile, I'm relieved to see Apple claim this is the first service of its kind on a consumer device ever. Because guess what, it isn't...just look at NTTdocomo who's offered this service for at least 4 years.
