frankly quite disappointed with the 4.2.1 upgrade, nothing special, multitasking is nothing new, still took me ages to backup (it took more than 3 hours to backup the ipad and there isn't much data in it to begin with - they should fix that backup problem)

there is no proper way to exit an app other than to hit the home button....then it lies in the background using up precious memory and battery i suppose....and u have to close it manually.

and now the side lock become the mute button.....

when i was trying to lock the screen today, hitting the home button twice, sliding right, pressing the slide lock button, my fren commented that the programmer at apple must be some arcade player - it's like some combo move....

on the bright side, i stimulated the china economy

anybody can name apps that are known to be problematic causing slow backups?

i heard that might be the main cause.

no, what i want is to backup with less time consumed. in itunes you can cancel backup just by clicking the x button.

imma trying to figure out why its taking so long (approx 3 hrs) for backup when there's not much data in the ipad.....some corrupt apps perhaps?

hmm...interesting. will try out later and see what happens. Thanks!

just an update on my earlier problem on slow backups.

as i was kinda busy recently, i didn't try any of the suggestions from all of you, BUT i found out that apparently Apple had somehow fixed this bug in the 4.2.1 upgrade.

What i found during my 2nd backup (1st backup was prior to updating to 4.2.1) was that i now cannot skip the backup during sync by clicking the x button. (not sure if it's same as experienced by u guys)

And....the sweet part was that the entire backup only took no more longer than 5 minutes!

So my problem with backups are finally over !
