New IOS 4.3.2 for iPad, iPad2 and iPhone

Apple has released iOS4.3.2 for iPhone, iPad 2, iPad and iPod – no more FaceTime freezing or iPad 3G issues.

iOS4.3.2 adds the usual security feature enhancements and minor optimisations and bug fixes as well.

The biggest bug fix in iOS4.3.2 is that Apple has solved the FaceTime freeze issue affecting iPad 2 users.

Next improvement is iPad’s 3G performance. It is generally more stable.

iPhone 3G users are left in the dust at IOS4.2.1.

iPad documentation

Many people who use iPads are not technical and don't know half of the iPad best commands.

They also ignore that there is a world of information at their fingertip and don't really know about blogs, twitter and newsgroups. Most basic users have their apps installed by a son or daughter and use apps. The most advanced read news using the bigs news apps and that's it.

Apple help is difficult and intimidating. I for one, never seen any help when I booted my iPad the first time.

Apple help is difficult to find but it is there, just a few links to get you started.

The basic Apple iPad support page is here:  Apple Support - iPad  Français サポート

Choose your country    Apple choose Country

In general you take the basic URL :  http://www.apple.com/XX/support/

and replace XX by the two letter acronym representing your country.
Example Russia is ru -> http://www.apple.com/ru/support/
China is cn                 -> http://www.apple.com.cn/support/
En Français                -> http://www.apple.com/fr/support/
