Most of us will have to wait a couple of months to actually try out iOS 4.3 for ourselves, but here’s a video test-drive of the cool new features for the iPad.
The beta version of Apple’s upcoming upgrade iOS 4.3 was released yesterday, and MacRumors took it out for a test drive. This video shows how differently we’ll be using our iPads later this year, as tapping, touching and buttons give way to swiping and pinching. Watch carefully to see how four or five fingers can pinch to return to the home screen, which pretty much eliminates the need for a home button. Will it be missing from the iPad 2.0 and iPhone 5?
These changes would seem to indicate a new iPad that will be even more intuitive and user friendly than the existing one, where the user will relate to the device in ways that make computers seem more than ever like relics from the past. The finger gestures seem to interact seamlessly with the user’s apps and make multitasking fast and effortless.
See the video after the jump.
