VLC is known for being able to play just about every video format, so this is good news for anyone who gets annoyed by having to convert all their video into the QuickTime compatible MP4 format before playing on the iPad.

Apple Launches ‘Coming Soon’ Page for iOS 4.2 for iPad

Apple has created a “Coming Soon” site for iOS 4.2 for iPad. This update will finally bring multitasking, folders, a unified inbox in Mail and many other great features we’ve been enjoying on the iPhone since iOS 4.0. One of the major additions to this version will be the ability to print directly to a printer on a wireless network from your iPad. Although I think printing something to paper is archaic, this is a feature that many iPad users have been requesting ever since the launch.

A feature in iOS 4.2 that I’m looking forward to is the ability to find text on web pages in Safari. This is something I use all the time on my computer, and I’m excited Apple is bringing it to the iPad.

iOS 4.2 will be available sometime in November for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
