The final version of iOS 4.2 was originally scheduled to drop sometime this week. We then heard about reports of it being released on Friday (Tomorrow), with iTunes 10.1 and Mac OS X 10.6.5 on this past Wednesday. While OS X 10.6.5 did drop on time, iTunes 10.1 didn’t.
Mac OS X 10.6.5 was supposed to bring AirPrint support for any printer connected to a Mac. Reportedly, Apple has removed AirPrint support from OS X in the final release of 10.6.5 due to some last minute patent issues.
Sources of MacStories have informed them that Apple will release final version of iTunes 10.1 along with Mac OS X 10.6.5 today, followed by the next major update of iOS (version 4.2) for iPhones, iPods and iPads on Friday, November 12, 2010. The arrival of OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 before iOS 4.2 makes sense because they are required by iOS 4.2’s AirPrint and AirPlay functionalities.
Although iOS alerts you when the device’s battery drops below 20%, you might want to change that to something higher or lower depending on your preference and you can do that with PowerAlerter.
