AppleInsider has reported that AirPrint in iOS 4.2 could be delayed indefinitely for those who would connect up to a printer on a Windows or Mac based device. Rather than being able to print to a shared printer as originally planned, it seems that this feature might be pulled out of iOS 4.2 and instead of using shared printers, the system might only work with wireless printers in the HP range.

Specifically, the five models mentioned are the following…

* HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One Printer – C410
* HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One Printer series – C310
* HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One Printer series – B210
* HP ENVY 100 e-All-in-One Printer Series – D410
* HP Photosmart eStation Printer series – C510″

Apple [AAPL] is believed to have created some iPad 2 adverts. The commercials were shot in New Yorks Pier 59 by a photographer called David Sims from Britain.

One of the participants told us that even though there weren’t any new products on the scene, everyone had to sign non-disclosure documents and security was tight.

Although we are still several months away from Apple [AAPL] releasing the iPad 2, we continue to hear rumours about what will and will not be included. The latest rumour indicates that the second gen tablet will have a couple of cameras with one being 5 megapixels and the other being VGA, presumably for the front for FaceTime calls.

Although we could easily guess that the iPad 2 will have two cameras due to FaceTime and the call for it, there is a little bit of evidence to back this rumour up. The information comes from an investment firm that claims OmniVision will be supplying the CMOS image sensors. [Read more…]

The new iOS 4.2 is still in beta (3rd beta to be exact) and it has already successfully been jailbroke. The iOS 4.2 jailbreak comes thanks to iH8sn0w who made the announcement on October 28 by showing the image above, also found here. Another picture of the accomplishment can be found over here.

Beta 4 of iOS 4.2 was expected to arrive this Tuesday just gone, but for some reason it missed the date. TiPb suggests that the secret Apple event being held next week for developers might actually signal the launch of iOS 4.2 GM as early as next week. [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] looks set to be changing one of the functions of the iPad in the next iOS update. When iOS 4.2 is released, the current orientation lock switch found on the top right of the device will suddenly be changed to a mute switch for switching sound off.

Some documents have been submitted to the European Trademarks and Designs Registration Office by Apple [AAPL] which reveal an iPad style device with two dock connectors. One is on the landscape side and the other in the usual portrait side. This isn’t the first time we have heard of an iPad with two dock connectors.

In a post a few weeks back, websites mentioned that the second landscape dock was actually part of the original plans and that Apple decided to not use it at the last minute and got rid of it. With these new documents, it now seems that the iPad 2 could possibly get the extra dock connector. [Read more…]
