iOS 4.2 Release Schedule Takes iPhone Dev Team by Surprise

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Apple is not done with testing iOS 4.2, given that the company has reportedly missed two self-imposed deadlines for the public release of the software, something that took even the knowledgeable iPhone Dev Team by surprise.

As avid Softpedia readers will remember, the infamous team of hackers went on record to warn of the risks of updating to a stock IPSW a full week before Apple was even rumored to release the software update to the masses. Apple has since delayed the iOS 4.2 public launch again, making it imperative for jailbreakers / unlockers to stay put until the Team's blog is updated with solid information about how the newest IPSW files from Cupertino can be hacked.

It is known that a WiFi bug affecting iOS 4.2 iPad builds is the main reason why Apple is holding off the public release of the software. By all accounts, iOS 4.2 mostly targets the iPad user base with key new additions like multitasking, application folders, a unified Mail inbox, Game Center, iAds and more.
