Won't that work on iPhones too?

I find it useful when using the iPad while lying down as it will keep switching to portrait orientation.

oh... ok.

I have used my ipad lying down flat on a table a lot, but I guess I just haven't experienced that problem

Looking forward to being able to use iBooks again. After my iPad beta 2 expired last week I couldn't bring myself to go back to 3.2.2. Now I won't have to.

Downloading now. Hopefully everyone else gets this real soon.

I only use the orientation lock on my iPad when I am laying on my side reading in bed.

Perhaps a new iTunes and 10.6.5 are also going to be released this week.

Seems likely, especially considering 10.6.5 is now removed from the iOS developer site, and iOS printing requires it.

Wonder if NYT Crosswords works, yet. I'm guessing..... no.

Has anyone run any tests to see if it fixes the iOS 4.1 Daylight Saving Time Bug?

Click to expand...

I thought that was fixed in the last Beta?

so all iOS devices will be on the same OS correct?

and only HP printers will work for printing for now?

Jump on it, Brother!! I needs to get mah print on.

I'm not really sure if this was there before but now you can select and print multiple pictures:

That was there from iOS 3.0

If find Airplay quite lacking.

Sure streaming to an AppleTV is nice but where is the ability to stream Video/Audio TO the iPad.

I know there are apps like Zumocast and DLNA clients for video, but built in support for at least LAN based iTunes Home Sharing seems like an obvious feature for a content device.

Too many people downloading. Mine was at 2.3 MB/s and now is 288 KB/s

Looks like it's bit better now:

We need an Apple TV update for AirPlay correct?

We need OS 10.6.5 for AirPrint correct?

You could print pictures on 3.0? The OS X software update(for AirPrint) has only been available for the past 2 months or so.

Youtube can now play music in the background. YAY

New multitasking bar for iPad too

Pulling it in @ 2.4MB/s from Australia.

I could not even use zinio...

All that was fixed in Beta 2.

Some of it, maybe, but not all. Zinio was still horribly broken on iOS 4.2 beta 2. I haven't tried the GM yet...
