Apple Releases iOS 4.2 Beta 2 [iPhone 3G/3GS/4, iPod 2G/3G/4G, iPad]


Go refresh the Developer portal, fellow iOS devs: just as expected, Apple posted a new beta of iOS 4.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.





iOS 4.2 beta 2 download here.
Update 1: The new build (8C5101c) is a 521MB .DMG download for iPad. As usual, iPhone (3G, 3GS, 4), iPod Touch (2nd, 3rd, 4th gen) and iPad are the supported devices.
Update 2: New AirPrint stuff:
Printing
iOS 4.2 devices can print wirelessly to printers that support AirPrint, including:
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
iOS 4.2 devices can print to printers shared through a Mac or a PC.
For iOS 4.2 beta 2, testing printing requires:
A printer that supports AirPrint, running the latest available firmware
A printer shared through a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.5 beta, available on the iOS developer page
A printer shared through a PC running iTunes 10.1 beta, available on the iOS developer page
Choosing the menu item “Open Printer Simulator” from iPhone simulator does nothing.
Launching the PrinterSimulator directly from /Developer/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Applications provides access to the PrinterSimulator.
