iPad iOS 4.2 review

It has been few days since I upgrade my ipad to the latest iOS version 4.2. I am happy with ipad to begin with. the new iOS upgrade makes the ipad even better. it certainly sweetens the deal as Seinfeld put it.

The most noticeable enhancement is fixing of the wifi connection bug, which drops the connections constantly and drives me crazy. The bug is fixed in latest iOS, I haven't experienced any wifi dropping since.

The task switcher which is advertised as multitasking (which really isn't) works well. I don't have to make the hard trade-off decision on whether to switch to another app.

I have a hp wifi printer, but the wifi printing feature didn't work on my ipad. it didn't recognize my printer. The feature isn't really that useful to me. I never have a urge to print from my ipad.

The only think I think ipad is lacking is a better browser. I am looking forward for a opera mini for ipad, not just the zoomed up version of opera for iphone which is the only version available on app store. It is too hard to view multiple pages at once and switching among them.

I would also hope that next ipad has a higher resolution display. Viewing webpages, such as nytimes is not the best experience when reading it in portrait. The letters become murky. however it does look better when viewing in landscape since letter become larger on screen, but you have to scroll down more.
