iPad WiFi Issues delay the release of iOS 4.2, Instead iOS 4.2 GM 2 on the Way!

The final version of iOS 4.2 was expected this week. As a prelude to that Mac OS X and iTunes were to be updated because they are prerequisites for the smooth operation and function of iOS 4.2. So far, Mac OS X had been updated. However, word has it that certain iOS 4.2 GM software bugs that affect WiFi connections on the iPad were discovered in the very last minute. Obviously, Apple is currently working on these bugs and as a consequence iOS 4.2 GM version 2 for the iPhone, iPod and iPad is inevitable. This implies that the public release of iOS 4.2 can only, at the earliest, arrive some time mid next week. In relation to the above, iTunes has not been updated yet and all indications are that iTunes will only be updated once these software bugs are fixed.

Apple has to get it right this time round especially if one considers the hardware and software problems that have come with iOS 4 and iPhone 4. Such problems include Apple being sued for bricking the iPhone 3G, the Glassgate problem that has seen the back glass of the iPhone 4 cracking a major security hole in iOS 4.2,  and the antenna problems of iPhone 4.

In the mean time, stay tuned for more updates.

The New iPhone 4 problem sends Apple into Panic.

Apple's solution to the much publicized iPhone 4 antenna problem was to advise it's clients to buy iPhone 4 cases. Due to the magnitude of the problem, Apple was eventually forced to offer such cases on a global scale.
However, as of today, Ryan Block of Gdgt reports that some third party iPhone 4 cases lead to the glass back of the phone being cracked. The explanation of this unfortunate occurrence is that once the iPhone 4 is slipped into a case then small particles of dust do get caught between the case and the phone. These "particulate matter" then cause small scratches on the back glass which eventually blooms into big cracks.
To make matters worse, even without the particulate matter and the cases, the iPhone 4 can still get scratched
