Will Apple keep the promise?

Apple has promised a November release for the much expected iOS 4.2, but with several delays and a third "Gold Master" seeded to developers, some are starting to fear Apple will not keep their word. The last iteration of the "Gold Master" is version 4.2.1, and the developers have been told not to re-submit their apps, which means the changes have been minor, but it appears the bugs are eating the Apple bad. On the bright side, it's a good thing that Apple doesn't release this update until all the known bugs are fixed, which isn't always the case with other software and OS makers.

iOS 4.2 has a few new features coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch, but it is primarily aimed at bringing the iPad up to speed, adding multitasking, folders, printing and content streaming to the Apple flavored tablet.
