iOS 4.3 previewed at iPad 2 event, coming March 11
VP of iOS, Scott Forstall took the stage as part of Apple's iPad 2 event to show off more features for iOS 4.3:
- Dramatic improvements to Safari and Nitro JavaScript engine. 2x as fast as before.
- iTunes Home Sharing so you can stream from your Mac or Windows PC right to your iPad.
- AirPlay is improved to allow all apps and websites to support video as well as audio.
- Personal Hotspot (iPhone 4 only). Turn your iPhone 4 into a mobile Wi-Fi connection and router.
- Photobooth, the popular Mac app, is coming to iOS
- FaceTime for iPad. Looks like iPhone 4.
So not much we haven't seen before in our iOS 4.3 walkthrough...
“With more than 160 million iOS devices worldwide, including over 100 million iPhones, the growth of the iOS platform has been unprecedented,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iOS 4.3 adds even more features to the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, across three blockbuster devices—iPad, iPhone and iPod touch—providing an ecosystem that offers customers an incredibly rich experience and developers unlimited opportunities.”
But at least we got a release date: March 11 for iPad and GSM (AT&T) iPhone... but not Verizon iPhone?

Already have hotspot using my unlimited data on my jailbroken iPhone via mywi. Why would I unjailbreak for 4.3? Not happening
Will iOS 4.3 GM be out today for the Devs?
That was my thinking too. The GM usually comes about a week before the actual release. I'm crossing my fingers!
...annnnnnnd it isn't coming to Verizon iPhone.

if we use Personal Hotspot on an un-jailbroken phone, will we have to pay ATT more
$? That's just not right, already pay them too much.
Not upgrading my jailbroken iPhone 4 until Hulu+ gets airplay.... I'll settle for that until it hits apple TV.
Agreed. HuLu needs airplay. That would be nice.
I'm upgrading instantly, forget my jailbreak, I want the upgraded safari, the updated keyboard, the new iTunes file sharing and wifi sync, and photoboth.
Can haz jailbreak too?
yay for my ipod touch =)
Come on Jailbreak!!
Is photobooth coming to iPhone or only iPad?
could someone fill me in on what the "upgraded keyboard" is?
Ok so we get hotspur on iPhone 4... But did anyone notice how they skimped on details? Can we finally have iPhone to iPad love? Hotspot is useless for me, as I don't have a laptop, but I have a wifi only iPad... Seems only logical. Let's hope
