Apple is all set to release the iOS 4.2 update later this month for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, which will finally bring support for long awaited iOS 4 features such as multitasking, Game Center, Apple's social gaming platform etc to the iPad.

It looks like the first iPad apps with Game Center, multitasking support have started appearing on the App Store.

The first of the iPad compatible games with support for Game Center on the iPad would be Big Bad Sudoku Book (iTunes link). For Game Center app to be available on the iPad, it requires iOS 4.2.

The game also gets multitasking support on the iPad now.

Here are some of the new features according to the What's New section:

  • Full support for iOS 4.2 including Game Center and background tasking on the iPad.
  • Now supports/allows background audio - play internet radio apps, soma fm via safari, or ipod music while playing the game.
