iOS 4.2 has just been released the developers and it actually brings more stuff than we expected to the iPhone Apple finally approves yet another native app that brings google voice to iOS and Consumer Reports still won't recommend the iphone spoon all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm hi Nevada and welcome to the pocket nail I review the shore we go through all the week's cool and not-so-cool inside the world of Apple's iOS devices as always let's start off with the cool well iOS 4.2 has recently been released developers and even though a lot of the stuff there has to do with iPad there are some cool things coming into the iphone and the iPod Touch first of all you'll get airplay which will allow you to stream content like video and audio not just like airtunes in the past where you can only stream audio this time you can also stream video with an apple products and also certain peripherals like I don't know TVs stereos it all depends on what you have and another cool thing is that you'll actually get wireless printing to work with iOS devices other cool features coming into iOS 4.2 is that for example you can now vote thumbs up or thumbs down on YouTube videos you'll also get FaceTime links on messaging and you'll also get more restrictions for example you can now restrict that users don't delete an application on your iOS device which is cool for parental restrictions etc the funny part about this release is that it's already been jailbroken sadly this jailbreak only works with the iphone 3gs for now and it depends on what bootrom you have if you remember that kamikaze way of doing jail breaks in the past where you needed a PC and it's not really like the jailbreakme.com feature that we feature recently but apparently you know the funny part is hey it's already jailbroken so this means the dev team is working hard things are going good let's see what happens as of now iOS 4.2 has a couple of bugs nothing's perfect but the developers community is stating that it's really cool for now let's see what happens speaking of wireless printing it seems some companies weren't willing to wait for iOS 4.2 to be rolled out one of these companies is epsilon which just released an application in conjunction with big stream called print genie I know weird name I'm not really even sure it came out right and it's not the gina that we've known it's ji and an eye but anyways the thing about this application is if you have a Wi-Fi enabled epson printer and you're willing to pay 10 bucks for the application which is currently on sale 47 you'll actually get wireless printing through the application on your epson enabled printer and that's pretty much it is it worth the seven or ten bucks well that's really up to you do you really need to print is it really gonna drive epson printer sales well you'll never know and will it be worth it considering iOS 4.2 is coming up next well it depends on you again so think about it at seven to ten bucks it's already available on the App Store and go for your purchase if it's really necessary for your printing lifestyle I mean it's really not that case for me but anyways out of a shocker thing that happened this week Apple actually approved the google voice native application to work on iOS devices meeting the iphone and the ipod touch why is this a shocker well you remember there was an application to past months ago called GV mobile that was actually full from the app store for offering google voice to iphones and an apple for some reason just said they weren't going to support it well it's out there again GV connect is the new name for the application but it offers every feature that you'd be expecting for google voice on your iOS device so you now have an option to not have to be using the web application the google offers you know it can be sluggish to the times it sometimes doesn't work so it costs three dollars it's not free but again it's another option for the web application if you don't want to be using the sluggish version of the google offers currently so let's see what happens let's see if it continues lasting and let's hope Apple doesn't pull the plug again you know I debated whether to leave this on the cool section or not but the good thing is the not-so-cool seconds coming so bear with me here you remember the case program for the iphone force ending on September 30th so that is definitely not cool but the good thing about this is if you remember past I review we mentioned the telus old manager in Mexico actually mentioned that he was going to get a new batch of iphone 4 devices as a September 30th that would not have the antenna gain issues so what could this mean could it mean that actually as of September 30th we're not going to get any more iphone 4s with antenna gate issues could be just the rumor so let's see what happens let's start off with the not-so-cool let's continue talking about the case program ending on September 30th and let's talk about consumer reports not recommending the iphone 4 again yeah you know you remember that part where consumer reports for said they would recommend the iphone 4 is the best smartphone out there and then a couple of weeks later they would come up saying no we're not going to recommend it because of the antenna gate issues and they would offer for you to use duct tape which we're not going to use but to be honest Consumer Reports is right you shouldn't have to use a case for the phone to work and that's how Apple actually deals with it as of a September 30th let's see what happens that's it for today's I review thank you very much for watching any questions your comments you have about this video let us know what twitter.com slash pocket now tweets are youtube.com slash crocodile video that's it for now bye
