The new Apple iPad 4.2

Apple announced a major update for the iPad yesterday, the same day Oprah Winfrey named it her #1 Favorite Thing Ever!

Some of the new features included in Apple's iOS 4.2 update include:

- multitasking support

- folders

- a unified inbox

- a Game Center

- AirPlay software, which will allow iPad content to be streamed wirelessly to Apple TV devices and supported printers

- Free access to "Find My iPad" feature

Here's what Apple CEO Steve Jobs had to say about the iPad update:

"iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a completely new product, just in time for the holiday season. Once again, the iPad with iOS 4.2 will define the target that other tablets will aspire to, but very few, if any, will ever be able to hit."
