iOS 4.2 release changes some built in app process names

Nothing big, just something I noticed. The Contacts and Maps apps are now called Contacts~iphone and Maps~iphone.

iOS 4.1                                         iOS 4.2

At first I thought it was due to the fact iOS 4.2 is the first unified release with the iPad, but why would apps like MobileMail not have the ~iphone extension? Also, not sure why it’s necessary at all since each iOS package is specific for each device. I can’t think of any better explanation, so I’m sticking with my first thought, even though I’m not sure why.

Yes, iOS 4.2 GM is out…looks like Apple will hit their November release

Golden master in devs hands, I’m guessing the public release is coming out a week from today.
