Apple Releases iOS 4.2 Golden Master to Developers
Apple has released the Golden Master (GM) version of iOS 4.2 to developers this evening. The GM build is typically the final shipping build that will eventually reach customers. According to MacStories, AirPlay has returned as a feature to YouTube playback -- a feature that was inexplicably missing in the last developer release.
Apple originally detailed the upcoming features of iOS 4.2 back in September. The focus of the update will be to bring the iPad up to speed with other iOS 4.x features such as multitasking and folders, but it also introduces a few new features across all devices. New features include:
- Printing: Print mail, photos, web pages, and more directly to a printer on a wireless network.
- AirPlay: Wirelessly stream videos, music, and photos from iPad to the new Apple TV, and stream music to AirPlay speakers or receivers, including AirPort Express.
iOS 4.2 was expected to be released in November, and with the GM release, Apple appears to be on target.

when will us non-developers get it?
If past GM releases are any indication, it'll go public in a couple weeks or so.

Can't wait for the new iCal support (haven't had it on my iPad for months due to the new system).
Airplay is also VERY welcoming, as is multitasking and folders.
Hating the return of the Mute switch though. I would much rather it be the orientation lock on the iPad.

I agree! I'm sure a jailbreak tweak will come out to keep the orientation lock.
