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] sent out an email to developers the other day indicating that iOS 4.2 was just around the corner.
The email says that iOS 4.2 will soon be in the hands of millions of customers around the world. The email was sent out to developers to let them know they can now submit updated apps to the app store that contain 4.2 optimised code and then suggest that developers can start utilising Multitasking (already available from 4.0 onwards) as well as Game Center (4.1 onwards) and finally AirPrint (iOS 4.2 onwards).

WMPoweruser has spotted the microSD card slot on the Dell Venue Pro Windows Phone 7 smartphone. Unlike some other WP7 devices where the card slot is buried deep within the hardware, Dell has made the microSD card slot some what accessible when only taking the back cover off.
However, there is a snag here in that the microSD card slot is actually covered by a warranty sticker. Basically, that means that if you decide to mess with the microSD card slot and increase the memory capacity of the device, you’ll end up voiding your warranty on the phone. [Read more…]
Early reports from analysts indicate that Microsoft [MSFT] only managed to shift 40,000 Windows Phone 7 smartphones on the US launch a few days ago. Microsoft has not commented on the numbers yet. If analysts are correct (which they not always are), this would put sales far behind those of the iPhone and Android based smartphones.
Analysts also hint that some problems could be related to a choice of too many smartphones. Four were available on launch day with even more being launched over the next few weeks. Also, there were some stocking issues from what we understand with the HTC HD7 being out of stock in many places as well as shortages of the Dell Venue Pro. [Read more…]
