Just to let all you iPad/Phone/Pod owners know, if you didn't already.
iPad owners in particular can rejoice as they get the multi-tasking/app switching, folders and all that jazz other iOS device users have enjoyed for a while, about time!
Things to note so far:
Airplay is on 4.2 BUT you need an Airplay device on your wireless network, i.e. the new Apple TV (other Airplay hardware isn't out yet I don't think) for it to show up when you're using stuff that supports it. Ditto for AirPrint. No devices on network = no icons.
In the beta version any app could output audio over Airplay, but there was a 2 second delay which made it useless for games and stuff. Video apps like YouTube delay the video by 2 seconds as well, so it all plays back synced on your TV. It does however offer some interesting possibilities if you wanted to leave Bloom on in the background, or something.
There are new text tones, but they're rubbish and only for iPhone 4 anyway, meh.
