I really like that they went with the brightness and volume controls on the final version! It's really handy!

Don't you mean 4.2.1 GM? Beta 1 was a while ago!

Just press and hold the the app that's on the multitasking bar then tap the minus and it will close.

That's what I was wondering when I read the title of his thread.

I'm so excited for this to come out...like a kid waiting for Christmas kind of excited. I really think that, aside from not having Flash, the inability to multi-task really drives me bonkers. It's going to make the Ipad even more important to me.

I've thought about getting my hands on the current GM version but I'm a total chicken. Therefore I get up every morning and read up to see if there was a miracle over night!

Thanks for sharing that vid. I know it's outdated a bit but it's nice to get an idea of what to expect.
