You only need one supported iOS device to use the feature.

To activate it, you must sign in with your Apple ID on one of the following devices:

iPhone 4
iPod touch 4th Generation
iPad

Once you have done that, you can use the feature on any iOS device you own.

You need one iOS device to find another, it doesn't work on anything else to find it unless you pay for mobileme.

Yes it does.

You can go to http://me.com/find on most web browsers to use the feature (it's still free)

Apple offers the "Find My iPhone" App for the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad because Apple blocks the full MobileMe website on those devices.

Thanks. I don't like that... But I'm glad the option is still hiding. Rather more annoying way to access it!

Yes it does. There was an update about a week ago for this.

I imagine the reason for that is because there are thousands of people all busting gut to have the latest firmware on their phone.

My post was in response to mikey86uk who said that he had upto 20Mb Virgin and the update was going to take 4 hours.

I on the other hand only get 3Mb download on my broadband and mine took 40 minutes.

Since we were both updating at the same time it seemed strange.

I have just downloaded the "find my iphone" app, and can't seem to get it to work due to my apple ID being a letter and number combination and not a ".me.com" username. Any ideas?”

EDIT - Just as I posted this, iPad has decided to update! Yay!

I'm stupid aswell

Can't see any sign of a printer icon or anything about printers in the settings. I doubt that my setup is compatible but I'd atleast like it to tell me.

Try the add bookmark icon in Safari and the forward/reply icon in mail. Mine can see my wired shared printer on my main computer. I haven't tried printing any photos yet - I'm a right tight arse with my printer ink

On iPod Touch 4G I've noticed:

Calendar - "Birthdays" now have a nice wee present icon. Also, the Calender actually starts up properly now and doesn't just show a blank screen.
Notes - You can chose between 3 different fonts.
Photos - Print option now there.
Music - J/K and Q/R now display separately [and not run into one under J and Q] in the Artists and Albums lists.

Anything else that's been fixed? I noticed that when downloading Apps on iOS4 that a lot would just say "Unable to purchase." I wonder if that got sorted?

Downloaded and installed without incident on my iPad and a nice surprise.

I've discovered that my iPad now charges via USB from my MacBook. Previously, plugging the iPad into a Mac's USB port resulted in a Not Charging message on the iPad. The only way to charge it was using the higher-power plug charger.

I noticed this immediately I installed the update. Macs can now charge iPads via USB just like iPhones and iPods. The joy.

I don't see this new feature documented anywhere. Is it known about?

Thanks. I can see the button now.

Sadly it cannot find my printer but I was half expecting that.

It would seem that AirPrint only supports certain models of HP printers, at the moment.

I've bought, and occasionally use, PrintCentral so I use that through my Mac.

It's not as integrated as AirPrint but you can print web pages and images through it. Not so cheap though.

Urgh... After over 3 hours trying to backup my iPad and the progress bar only ever getting to around 9% I gave up and went to bed. Looks like I'll have to leave it till the weekend. Curse you Jobs!!

Sounds more like a fix of a problem than a new feature to me.

It's funny you should say that as I could have sworn that my iPad was at about 90% charge when I updated it and then later it showed 100%.

However it still says 'Not charging' when connected to my laptop.
