5. Print with AirPrint
In the latest version of iOS4.2, the iPad will be able to natively print documents, photos, websites, and emails without the need for an app or drivers. There are two ways items can be printed from the iPad, the first requires one of HP’s new printers that support wireless printing from the iPad. If you’re not in the market for a new printer then you will need to use the second option which requires a Windows PC or Mac with a shared network printer in order to print from the iPad. This video will focus on the second option because the first requires no configuration and the prompts to print are the same.
6. Stream Video and Audio with AirPlay
The coolest feature arriving on the iPad and other iOS 4.2 devices is the ability to stream video playback to other devices, specifically the Apple TV.
