iOS 4.2 Getting AirPlay Wireless Music, Video Streaming

iPad with iOS 4.2 is almost everything we’ve wanted in the iPad since getting an iPhone 4, plus something we’ve wanted from the beginning: streaming music and video from iTunes to the iPad with AirPlay. It’s coming out in November.

AirTunes has been remade into AirPlay, which now streams more than music over iTunes – it streams video, photos and music from iTunes to devices or from, say, an iPhone to an Apple TV. The other new wireless power is wireless printing, which Steve demoed from Pages.

On the iPad, multitasking looks and works just like iOS 4 on the iPhone 4 and 3GS.

The only bad part? It’s not coming out until November – for iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches – which means our iPads are going to keep feeling like fossils until then.

It’s also got wireless printing.

    Wireless printing is great as long as it works with all applications, not just iworks. After having released Filemaker Go in August, the best business app. available in my books is totally hamstrung for most users till it can print !!!! If print centre brings printing to FM Go then we are in business.
