In preparation for its any-day-now launch of iOS 4.2, Apple's iTunes media software has notched an incremental improvement to version 10.1. Users who can't wait for automatic Apple updates to occur can download the new version from Apple's iTunes download page.
Apple listed three new capabilities in today's update:
- Use AirPlay to instantly and wirelessly stream videos from iTunes to the all-new Apple TV.
- Sync with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 4.2.
- Provides a number of important stability and performance improvements.
The update is a harbinger that iOS 4.2, the first major iPad system software update to date, is coming very soon. No new security fixes are listed on Apple's security support page at the moment, though it's likely that some were made. In addition to AirPlay, the update will bring multitasking, wireless printing, and security enhancements to the wildly popular tablet touch computer.
"The Apple iPad has revolutionized tablet computing, but that doesn't mean that that the device doesn't have room for improvement," Jeffrey Wilson wrote. "It's been criticized for its lack of multitasking, fractured e-mail inbox, and missing security features that business users desire. No more. Apple iOS 4.2, a free update for the iPad operating system, addresses those issues and adds several new features—wireless printing, wireless AirPlay streaming, and more—that round out the iPad experience and brings it up to speed with the Apple iPhone and iPod touch (which now run iOS 4.0)."
