iPad iOS 4.2 update delayed by 2 weeks, originally scheduled for Nov 11 [UPDATE]

iPad home screen in iOS 4.2

UPDATE: It appears that due to a serious last minute WIFI connection issue the iPad’s iOS 4.2 release, planned for Friday November 11,  will be delayed, and the forseeable impact is that the public release will be postponed by 2 weeks. The connection issues have been posted on Macrumors forum (here and here) as well as on Twitter and Apple’s internal discussion boards.

Hopefully this will still mean a pre-Thanksgiving launch, and we are looking forward to long awaited iPad features such as

  • Multitasking (AKA fast application switching),
  • Airprint and Airplay features.
  • Homepage and Spotlight upgrades
  • Folders
  • Widgets
  • Introduction of Gamecenter
