Apple iOS 4.3 Beta Features Multi Touch Gestures & Wifi-Hotspot

iOS 4.3 beta is now available to download. Apple has finally gave up on the mandatory side switch configuration and will let the users decide whether they'll use it as Mute key or as an Orientation lock. Other new features spotted on the iPad are the awesome multi-touch gestures. You will be able to use four (or five) fingers to minimize an app and go to the homescreen, swipe through all running apps or bring up the multi-tasking bar with a single swipe up.

Apple iOS 4.3 Features:-

• Personal Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities
• Multi-touch gestures (iPad only) for quick access to homescreen, multi-tasking bar or the next/previous running app
• Configurable iPad slide switch
• iAd fullscreen banners on iPad
• New FaceTime icon
• AirPlay support for third-party apps
• Possible video effects (Turbine, X-ray, Tunnel of Light, Collapse, Thermal Camera, Kaleidoscope and Normal)

For Developers, Stream video from your app to a widescreen TV using new Media Player APIs that support AirPlay video. You can also update your web content to support AirPlay. Track the popularity of your streams and measure their performance. New AVFoundation APIs allow you to track information including how many people are watching your videos, how long they're watching them, and performance metrics like observed bitrate and number of dropped frames. Use these statistics to fine tune your authoring process and deliver optimized content to your users. iAd full screen banners grab the attention of users by taking advantage of the large screen of iPad to launch an immersive, interactive iAd experience. This new banner format is easy to implement. And Apple sells and serves the ads to your app while you collect 60% of the advertising revenue generated.The iOS 4.3 beta lacks support for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch second generation, so the 4.2.1 might as well be the last supported build for those devices. Other interesting things discovered within the iOS 4.3 code are a few live video effects, which might be accessible on both FaceTime and video recording. We've already mentioned them in the list above. The last thing from the code revealed so far is the Find My Friends feature. This is supposed to be part of the MobileMe services and bring functionality similar to that of Google Latitude. There is no word on when iOS 4.3 will be announced or launched but we're guessing it will happen in the end of January.
