It might have taken a bit longer than originally thought but today Apple has finally rolled out its iOS 4.2.1 update for the iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod touch. The biggest changes with this release will come for iPad users, who have been left without a version of iOS 4 for their devices until now.
Once they apply the update iPad users will be able to take advantage of Apple’s multitasking workaround for third-party apps, folders, AirPrint, unified inbox and much more. However, the good news isn’t just for iPad users. iPhone 3G users should also experience much needed performance improvements.
The update is available via iTunes so connect those devices and get updating. If you do, let us know if you have any problems or if things get better.
On a somewhat related note, Apple has made Find My iPhone free for all users. The feature, which allows GPS-enabled iOS devices to be located from via a web interface, had previously been part of Apple’s $100-per-year MobileMe service. Sadly, MobileMe still costs money. Come on Apple, let it go.
