iOS4 is coming to town

It should be no surprise now that iOS4.2 is available for download. And while I’m sure there are lots of people all excited and giddy over the release I have to say I’m going to let this one sit for awhile before I upgrade. I’ll go ahead and update my iPod Touch since it already has 4.1 installed, but for now, I’m going to stick with iOS3 on the iPad.

I should be able to listen to the book and actually do something else if I want to. Plus, Ask The Tiki runs lightning fast on the new OS. It starts right up where you left off. 🙂
