iOS 4.3 beta2
On 19th of January Apple has released a second beta release of the iOS version 4.3 for anyone with an active Apple Developer account.
Some of the new features include:
- Tether 3G connection over WiFi (making iPhone a personal wireless router)
- Picture Stream – a service allowing publishing of photos to MobileMe
- Video Streaming
- The side switch on iPad can be assigned either for mute (like on iPhone) or for orientation lock (like it used to be in iOS 3.x)
Previous beta release of 4.3 also contained four- and five-finger gestures for switching multitasked applications and closing the active one. This feature was for experimental use only and has been removed from beta2.
Now some sad information for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2gen users: there will be no iOS 4.3 for your device. iPhone 3G suffered poor performance when running iOS 4.0, it did improve a bit in 4.1 and subsequently 4.2.1, but it seems that Apple has decided that iPhone 3G/iPod touch 2gen don’t have enough juice to power iOS 4.3.
