PCWorld: How iOS 4.2 Makes iPad A Better Business Tool
iOS 4.2 will let users organize apps into folders. Its unified email box will let them get messages from all their mail accounts in one place. And multitasking will let them work on more than one thing at a time.
“Apple has released the final version of iOS 4.2 to developers, and will soon make the update available to the general public–possibly as early as tomorrow according to some reports. The first major update of iOS for the iPad brings a number of tweaks and changes, including a few that greatly enhance the value of the Apple tablet for mobile business users.
For users who also have an iPhone or iPod Touch, the long (very long) wait for Apple to introduce an iOS 4.0 update for the iPad has been barely tolerable. Switching between the iPhone 4 and an iPad is like going between Windows 7 and an old Windows XP system; you try to use the features and tools that make the more current system more efficient and productive, and end up frustrated when you remember that the legacy platform lacks those functions.”
