Macworldisgetting socialwith you , dear readers , not only to give you more ways to stay on top of the latest Apple news and review , but also to get wind what you opine . To do so , we ’re launching a raw series of polls on Facebook , the net ’s largest body of water cooler . I put up our latest poll Tuesday to determine out what yourfavorite new iOS 4.2 featuresare , and the results are in .
SinceiOS 4.2was a more significant update for the iPad than its siblings , I overspread the ten choices out between truly new feature film for all devices ( AirPrint , AirPlay ) and iPad - specific gain like multitasking and folders , which the iPhone and iPod touch have delight since this past summertime .
Unsurprisingly , multitasking for the iPad took the gold laurel wreath by a landslide , with 29 per centum of your vote . The close challenger was AirPlay ( for all devices ) with 18 percentage , followed closely by folders for the iPad at 15 percent .
Interestingly , none of you voted for Game Center for iPad or for the young maternal controls , which can foreclose kid from delete or put in apps , playing multiplayer games , or exchange account information ( seeMacworld’swhat you demand to recognise about iOS 4.2 insurance coverage for more item ) . I take heed from a caboodle of friend whose nipper unwittingly corrupt $ 50 worth of apps or nuked mommy ’s e - mail account , and I was sure that one would at least place .
The other iOS 4.2 features that placed are : unified inbox in Mail for iPad at 10 percent , search current page in Safari at 8 per centum , unexampled SMS alarm pick for iPhones and alter the Notes app ’s font tied at 7 percent , and , in a surprise upset considering all the bicker , AirPrint bringing up the rear at 6 percent .
That ’s it for our latestMacworldpoll , and thanks to everyone who participated . We ’ll be doing more of these in the future , so allow us know what you recollect or if you have ideas for next poll .
