Apple Makes iPads More Useful for Schools

Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad can do and show so much, but until now, users haven’t been able to print from the devices. The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad don’t have the ports needed to connect the devices to a printer, but Apple, Inc. developed software that makes it possible for users to print wirelessly over Wi-Fi networks. The software, called AirPrint, allows the Apple gadgets to locate printers on home, work, or school networks, and then print. Currently, only certain Hewlett-Packard Co. printers are lucky enough to be compatible with AirPrint.

AirPrint along with AirPlay are two new feactures available with iOS 4.2, the latest operating system for the Apple devices…just in time for the holidays.
