Feel thee freedom of movement with iPad’s iOS 4.2

The recently released iOS 4.2 is compatible with three iDevices: iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, however in this post we wanted to concentrate on the iPad version, while it represents an important change for the platform. “iOS 4.2 can make the iPad a totally new piece, just in period for the holiday season,” Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said. “Once again, the iPad with iOS 4.2 will define the target that other tablets will aspire to, but very few, if any, will ever be able to hit.”One of new iOS 4.2 features is named Folders.

If your iPad is stuffed with apps, the new Folders feature includes a different and intuitive method to manage and navigate all those icons. Users can now use drag-and-drop feature to organize their folders. iPad users are now able to add more than 12 items to a folder. Being more exact, amount of maximum apps in any folder is now 20. Obviously, it’s nice to keep your apps organized for fast access to your favorites.Here’s a brief tutorial about creating folders.To make a folder you need to tap and hold down an App on the Home Screen. After the apps begin to wiggle you can actually make a folder by dragging an app on top of another. That’s much like moving apps around on the Home Screen, the main difference is you are moving the app on top of another. iOS will automatically title the folder dependent on the apps put into the folder. In case if you put two games together the folder will be named Games.Still you may always enter the name that best represents the apps inside the folder: Racing Games, Books or similar.You may as well move the apps wherever you wish to set their location.

When you are done organizing your apps press the Home button to save the settings.If you make a folder by mistake or you simply need to delete a folder you will need to next things: tap the folder you wish to delete. Then tap and hold down an app in the folder until the apps begin to wiggle. You don’t need to go into the folder to do this, you can tap and hold down any app, the end goal is to get the apps to wiggle. Remove the apps one by one until you remove the second to last app inside the folder. This will cause the folder to go away and the last app will automatically return to the Home Screen. One can also use this method to rename the folder in case you don’t want to delete it.Summary: The recently released iOS 4.2 is compatible with three iDevices: iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, however in this post we wanted to concentrate on the iPad version, while it represents an important change for the platform.One of new iOS 4.2 features is named Folders.
