What about IOS 4.3

You can read about all sorts of rumors about IOS4.3 dubbed the "Branson Update" by some and the "Murdoch update" by others. Many "insiders" claimed it would be released around mid-December.

The jury is still out on this, but in my opinion, this will be after the holidays. Apple developers' site, iTunes Connect, is completely closed from December 23 to 28 and will resume Friday December 29. This means major iTunes reshuffle, new iTunes version, related to the subscriptions updates added in IOS4.3.

Rumors claim that there is a video streaming bug in IOS4.2 with AirPlay, but this was certainly a Beta issue and IOS4.2.1 the version released to the public must be working or reviewers would have complained. I do not have AppleTV here and can't test these things. Too Bad.

Finally, the new IOS will also lock jailbroken iPhones and send their owners back to Apple for a fix. Technically they can "brick" the device, meaning make it dead, but I don't know if they will do it, they will lock it however according to this Apple patent.

There is also that print to network printers I would like fixed. We had that working for a week or two then it was removed. Why?

Some people can print on printers connected to Apple AirPort, but it does not work with a Linksys or DLink router. IOS4.2 should print to all network connected printers. I have a Mac and printers connected to it, I want to use my printers not buy a new one.

There is a fix floating around, not legal, because it uses a driver from Apple and you won't find it here, but if you google "AirPrintFix cloudapp" you may find it there.

BTW, All above are only rumors, Apple has always, always been able to surprise and dazzle people, so we are waiting.

Happy Holidays
