There’s a certain buzz going through the networks that Apple is almost ready to give iPad users the version 4 treatment.  Amongst which include multi-tasking, folders, and the game center.  Some say the launch would be today.  But according to macnn.com, iOS 4.2 was delayed due to a Wi-Fi bug found in the Gold Master.  Further news from macnn is tha iOS 4.2 is expected around November 16.  Right before Thanksgiving!  There sure is much to be thankful for this year.  Family, friends, health, opportunities, and of course all the worldly possessions (like my iPad) which are great to use as both tool and toy.  Well, as soon as we get more info on the new iOS, you can be sure that you’ll find out about it here on JAMM.
