The problem with Apple has always been these interminable release teases. Once again 4.2 is bogged down in apple bugs.

So does this mean they will release 4.2 imminently and then after working out further kinks release 4.2.1? Or would they go straight to 4.2.1?

Seems to make a release of 4.2 today unlikely.
Not that I think it will happen, but wouldn't this make a release of 4.2 today more likely, since they're already readying 4.2.1?

Why is this a problem? Better to get the bugs worked out with dev releases before putting it in the hands of the consumers.
