Apple have announced that there will be a new version of iOS dropping on the 11th of March. iOS 4.3 was probably overshadowed by the giant iPad 2 announcement during the event earlier, but that doesn't mean it's any less important. Who are we kidding, it's not really a groundbreaking update. My ears did perk up a bit when they first said that a new version of the OS was being released, but slowly I lost interest after the utterance of the word "Airplay".
So what does iOS have to offer iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch (3rd & 4th gen) users? Firstly, Safari has been improved by a new Nitro JavaScript engine. Next, iTunes home sharing allows users to share all their content across their WiFi network with a slew of Airplay enhancements. The biggest parts of the new OS have to be the inclusion of WiFi hotspot functionality for the iPhone 4 (which Android could do for a while now) and the return of the screen rotation lock to it's rightful place on the side of the iPad.
I know it's just a 0.1 increment and not a brand new OS, but I'm still hoping for an overhaul on the notifications and multitasking front. Perhaps iOS 4.4?
