iPad Gets a Little iPhonier

Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) released iOS 4.2 on Monday, managing to put the update in users' hands within the month of November. Some users, however, had expected the completed iPhone, iPad and iPod touch update to be released earlier this month.

The delays were reportedly due to bugs that required fixing.
The latest release of Cupertino's mobile device operating system incorporates several new features, including AirPlay and Game Center for iPad.
It also incorporates the Find My iPhone feature, which is now available free.
Another new feature lets users rent TV episodes directly to the iPad.
Apple also released an Apple TV update, version 4.1, in a move that could be interpreted as injecting power into AppleTV in a bid to fend off Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) TV.
Apple did not respond to requests for comment by press time.
