See iPhone Multitouch App Switching in Action
Here’s video evidence that lets you see the new multitouch, app-switching capability on the iPhone. We’ve seen this trick on a video featuring the iPad, but not one with the iPhone.
Similar to the gestures available now on Apple’s laptops with their “Magic Trackpads,” a four- or five-finger multitouch gesture lets users move from one application to another. But don’t get your hopes up about using this on iPads or iPhones when iOS 4.3 is officially released. We obtained this from Apple’s official release notes for iOS 4.3, beta 2:
In other words, developers can play now, but the rest of us may just have to wait a bit. The second beta of this iOS 4.3 was just rolled out yesterday, and even though its recipients are sworn to secrecy, they are leaking some tantalizing clues.
When can the rest of us get iOS 4.3? Apple’s not saying, but we expect at least one more beta and then an RC (Release Candidate) before it gets into the hands of the public. Look for it to become available around the same time the iPad 2 is announced.
