iOS developers out there might want to take note that Apple has just seeded the iOS 4.2 Gold Master, indicating that the final version of the iOS 4.2 update is just around the corner. Two of the marquee features of iOS 4.2 will include Air Print for remote printing via a networked Mac or compatible HP hardware and Air Play to send video playback to the iOS-powered Apple TV. Hopefully the final version of iOS 4.2 will be available for the general public in the next few weeks.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
