Want 4.2 now, but not a dev?

It's also worth noting that to even become a developer you are required to have a business license, and depending on your state, have the insurance that goes along with owning a business. There are a lot of devs out there that pay out the ass for such.

And, because that's the case, there are very few (intelligent and trustworthy) devs that would be stupid enough to violate not only the ToS Apple has in place, but also the fact that beta releases are privileged information, and are considered "secret." Not only will Apple instantly terminate any dev found doing this, but they also have legal grounds to sue that developer for leaking confidential information and software.

Completely untrue. I signed up for the developer program without any of this. I really wish people would stop posting this kind of stuff. If you don't know what you are talking about them you should not be posting about it.

+1 to have a business developer account you do need to prove some stuff but if you sign up like most people do as an individual you just need an Apple ID and $99/£59.

I've found the wi-fi situation improved with 4.2. I used to have to restart the iPad to connect to a new wi-fi connection. Annoying. Now it just connects to the new connection automatically. HURRAH!

Maybe the trick is updating instead of wiping clean? I'm pretty sure Itunes 9.2 has something to do with it as well though.....

I'm tempted to go back and try to do a full wipe and install....but not sure if i want to push my luck at this point! HAHA

FYI, iTunes 9.2 has nothing to do with it. But restoring will require it to registered with a developer account.

Don't do a restore if the Beta wasn't registered from a Dev's account because you are asking for trouble! You might get a bricked iPad.

You MUST give your UDID number to a person with a Dev's account and get the Beta from them preferably who will give you all Beta updates Free. Do not be stupid enough to install the Beta without doing this.
