Multitasking Gestures?

What I want to know is, how do you swipe between apps in a way that doesn't register as a swipe within a given app, like a game? If I swiped at something in a fruit ninja type game, I'd be a little miffed if it took me to Safari.

I'm sort of afraid to do that because I wonder why they're not in iOS 4.3 by default.

Do we know why Apple elected not to enable them?

Because they weren't meant for 4.3. They were in the betas so developers could implement them in apps going forward.

Ok, question. I heard that using Xcode 3 will work, but I'm not seeing a device list when I plug in my iPad. Do you also need the SDK installed?

you have to go to device manager in xcode 4 then click on your iPad and click use for development and then wait for it to do it's thing and you should be good to go

Actually, 3.2.6 (as long as you downloaded with the iOS SDK) works just fine. I had 3.2.5 w/o the iOS SDK, and had to download 3.2.6. Kind of a pain (I haven't done any work on iOS apps, so it hadn't been an issue for me) to download a 4 gig update so I could try out the gestures, but I wouldn't want to be without them now. I love having a home button, and there's times I still use it (and there's some general goofiness about swiping between apps at the order they maintain in the 'task bar'), but it feels a lot more natural, and a lot more like what you felt the ipad should be from the start. Loving it.
 
So I enabled gestures and now when I connect my iPad I get an error and another error when the sync is done saying it can't backup.

Is this normal? Doesn't seem like it should be but since this if for development use, I thought I'd check.

shouldn't be down to the gestures as I have it enabled on mine and it syncs fine

That is exactly why Apple has not released this feature to the general public - its only available to developers so Apple can get feedback, and developers can measure any impact it might have on their apps.
