However, it is important to take note that even if the iOS 4.2 works well with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G, not all of these features are compatible with all iDevices. A sample of that is multitasking, which is only available for the iPhone 4, iPad and iPhone 3GS respectively.

The iPad has already begun its evolution with the iOS 4.2 and surprisingly it doesn’t looks like the said device is lagging due to RAM deficiencies as well as CPU strain. Basically, everything works just like the iPhone 4. However, there were some scrolling issues noticed upon moving from Spotlight search back to the icons in the homescreen. Since it is only a beta version, a few hiccups will be just normal.

As mentioned the beta version of the iOS 4.2 is already available for download. However, it is required that all those developers who plan to test the iOS 4.2 beta must also be running the latest beta version of Snow Leopard, Mac OS x 10.6.5 in order to ensure compatibility with the AirPrint wireless printing feature.
