iOS 4.3 Hitting Golden Master, Public Debut at Next Week's Media Event?

With luck, a new jailbreak will be out in a few hours after release and we'll be able to turn on local hotspot.

Unlikely. Not unless the new iPad is released at the same time. They'll wait for iPad 2 to get into peoples' hands before they release the jailbreak. Makes the most sense. So probably a few weeks after iOS 4.3 is released would be my guess.
 
Single most important question is will 4.3 GM actually contain the multi tasking gestures for iPad, or will they really disappear as we've been told?

If they're gone then I'm keeping beta3 until it expires.

I've got them enabled but I never actually use them. I find them more cumbersome to use than just simply pressing the home button.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I've been checking the dev center for the GM and would have installed it... only to find out that the gestures are gone. Beta 3 FTW!
 
What's in it for tv?

Have there been any leaks as to what the upgrade will mean -- if anything -- for tv?

Bah! Not at all. After two days of getting used to them, its all I use and all I could ever want to use. They're damn near perfect.

I am always using the 4 finger swipe to switch between apps and show the multitasking bar. Hopefullyif I do an update to 4.3 GM it will leave the gestures intact.

It won't. You can't update to the same version of software (iTunes see 4.3 as 4.3 regardless of build), and even an update is a complete reinstall of the entire OS, meaning bye bye gestures, as Apple has already said will be the case.

I fully expect this to be a complete bullsht move by Apple, to which iPad 2 has the gestures upon launch (4.3), and iPad 1 does not.
 
Apple needs to implement a more expansive user interface. Engadget's review of the Xoom tablet showed just how outdated the iOS layout is.

Sadly. I think the 3G is a goner. 20 months old and more limited vs the 3Gs. If perhaps it survives through this new upgrade, it will come off the upgrade list when iPhon 5 appears.

None of the features that debuted in iOS 4.3 apply to the iPhone 3G because it doesn't support multi-tasking and Personal Hotspot only works on the iPhone 4 (MyWi only supports adhoc mode so you can't connect a Nintendo DS or PSP to its hotspot. Infrastructure mode is what Personal Hotspot uses, and that chip is only on the iPhone 4).

It's not as much for the features, but for the security updates. Particularly the recently documented one where someone can hack all your account passwords include those of Exchange accounts, which has implications for corporate security that you'd think Apple would want to address. Apple should continue to nurse 2nd gen devices along on iOS 4.2.2 to include security updates until iOS 5 is released. This was done before with iOS 1.1.5 and minor updates like an iOS 4.2.2 don't require developer seeds so it could happen.
 
Not Yet

I just logged in and not updated yet but I did have to agree to new terms before I could get to the Beta D/L section still has 8F5166B.
 
watch, the gestures will be disabled on the 1st gen ipad, and enabled on the 2nd gen.

Uuh, you link an almost 2 month old hands-on rather than their actual review?

I should have clarified that I was referring to their official review posted yesterday. He's somewhat correct regarding the evident bugginess (i.e. album art and app store), but for a freshly released tablet it just looks outright cool. I really think Apple can deviate from the iOS standard that we're all accustomed to without confusing the general population.

iOS 4.3 can only push audio and video from apps, right? Not main content from an app (ex "pushing" Facebook wall to Apple TV)?
 
they release iOS updates on Thursdays, so it will be released march 3rd, after they anounce it with the iPad 2. I bet.

I disagree. If you've noticed, the iPhone dev team got pretty stuck with 4.2.1 and didn't have the untethered jailbreak until very recently. Plus, unlocking has been unusable with 4.2.1 and 4.2... it seems like they would want to get things working when 4.3 comes out and not wait. Plus, there have been small rumors that the unlocks for 4.3 are already ready to go (assuming the GM doesn't bust them).
