iPad News: Check Out the iOS 4.3 Multi-Touch Gestures for iPad (Video)

The beta version of Apple’s upcoming upgrade iOS 4.3 was released yesterday, and MacRumors took it out for a test drive. This video shows how differently we’ll be using our iPads later this year, as tapping, touching and buttons give way to swiping and pinching. Watch carefully to see how four or five fingers can pinch to return to the home screen, which pretty much eliminates the need for a home button. Will it be missing from the iPad 2.0 and iPhone 5? These changes would seem to indicate a new iPad that will be even more intuitive and user friendly than the existing one, where the user will relate to the device in ways that make computers seem more than ever like relics from the past. The finger gestures seem to interact seamlessly with the user’s apps and make multitasking fast and effortless. See the video after the jump.

We’ve been hearing for months that the iPad 2.0 will have a bunch of new features like cameras, FaceTime and a mini-USB port, as well as being thinner, lighter and faster, but from what we’ve seen so far, the next gen iPad could be even more of an improvement over its predecessor than we could have guessed. Will all of the features included in iOS 4.3 work on the original iPad? If so, it will be almost like their owners are getting a whole new iPad—which might be of some consolation to those who paid full price for theirs shortly before the new model comes out.
