APPLE RELEASES iOS 4.3 BETA

Apple has released a beta version of iOS 4.3, the next version of the popular OS for iOS devices, to developers. So far the upgrades include:

You can use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen; swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar; and swipe left or right between apps. We are providing this preview before releasing them to the public to understand how these gestures work with your apps.”
• Configurable slide switch for iPad — users can now decide whether the hardware switch above the volume rocker on the iPad controls mute or rotation lock
• iAd full screen banners on the iPad — bigger ads… just what iPad users have been clamoring for
