Apple iOS 4.3 Beta and 4.3 SDK now available to developers
MacStories is reporting that iOS 4.3 also brings new 4-and-5-finger gestures to the iPad, including a pinch to get to the home screen, and swipes to reveal the multitasking tray or switch apps. AirPlay video streaming from 3rd party apps is back for iOS 4.3 -- for developers who opt in -- and the Personal Hotspot feature and full-screen iAd banners also make an appearance.
Users will be pretty excited about Personal Hotspot, which lets you share your phone's 3G connection with other Wi-Fi enabled devices, but only if carriers like AT&T opt to enable it. Verizon has confirmed that its iPhones will offer the feature, and iOS 4.3 appears to open the door for other carriers to do the same.
Also, it looks like the battle over the side button on the iPad -- whether it should be a mute button or a rotation lock -- is finally over. There's now an option in Preferences where users can choose either of the two. Our sister site, Engadget, has a screenshot.

Yupe, I read the news that iOS4.3 come to the iPad, the updates for iPad look like an extremely positive step, apple have listened again! however I'd like to see some of the multitouch gesture support for the iPhone. why can't it have at least the multitasking navigation via a three finger swipe? otherwise, hot spot looks good and is anyone really honestly that surprised they made another crappy icon? itunes 10, app store, now facetime...
I do hope the iPad 2 can give much more surprise to me, as the 1Gen iPad is impressed much fans, especially on playing games and watching movies and videos, though it lack of flash support, but with tools like iFunia iPad converter, all are on the go! And the number of iPad user must be bigger and bigger~
P.S. watch movies and vieos on iPad freely:
