Apple released the new ios version 4.2 for iphone, ipod touch and ipad yesterday.
This update sports lots of new features and security fixes. Among others the mobile safari (webkit) feature set was seriously improved. It now features
- The new Device Orientation API (Accelerometer access without phonegap)
- Better HTML5 Form Support
- New HTML5 events like onhashchange
- Better SVG Support
- ImageData Support for the Canvas API
- The all WebSockets API – this one is huge
- Partial support for XMLHttpRequest Level 2
- And last but not least support for typed arrays is on the way
Looks like this update is really important for anyone developing webapps for the iphone/ipad. The only thing missing are detailed informations about tweaks to the hardware acceleration.
Now if only A1 would sell the iPhone 4 already. Bugs me that i can not test stuff on the retina display. Latest rumors are 29. November.
