    And, yes it is true the Hotspot feature works ONLY on iPhone 4, no other iDevices.



    Thanks. I have an iPhone 4 and a 3GS, too bad it won't wok on the 3GS.

    Can someone confirm?



    Yes, I have enabled the gestures on my iPad with a plain vanilla 4.3 iOS version and a (free) copy of Xcode 3.2.5 (you could download it with a free developer account, don't know if you still can with the release of Xcode 4).

    Here is how to enable it:

    Once you have enabled them, they are described in the General Settings on the iPad (and also in the link above).

    Is the NDA for the 4.3 beta lifted?



    Yep.. Apple also removed xcode 3.x from the developers website. Good thing that I have been watching the WWDC xcode 4 videos. The more I learn about xcode 4 the more I like it. I am having problem with one of my iPad apps not running on the simulator and needed to add i386 to the list of valid architecture field. It is strange though that my other iPad/iPhone apps didn't require that.

    The five fingers are cramped but I might get used to it.



    Now to Google and find out what all the extra gestures are... unless someone on here already knows?



    Edit: Would you believe that after doing a sync, I no longer have the five-finger gestures for open and closing the multi-tasking bar?!!!



    Well, my iPhone 4 was just upgraded to 4.3 from 4.2.1 and I don't have the jestures. \

    You can connect it like somebody said to any computer running iTunes. Last fall when my computer was getting repaired I did an update on a friend's computer.

    Not TOO worried, mind, but a little. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past Apple.



    That would not surprise me...both from a compatibility standpoint, and a flat processing power standpoint. When GarageBand first came out for Mac it was (and still is) very processor intensive and was really sluggish on older Macs.



    Also, and correct me if I am wrong, it has a built-in check to see that you had a G4 processor of a certain speed otherwise it wouldn't go. It might be iDVD I am thinking of...

    Because you don't GET them in the final release. You have to enable the device for development.

    No, the 4 & 5 Finger Pinches & Swipes Don't Work With The Public Release. Bummer.

    So how do we do that? Is there a tutorial step by step for dummies?

    Thank you. I didn't read above first. I have one of those free developer accounts and still can download Snow Leopard Xcode 3.2.6 for free. Downloading it now - 4.14 GB.



    Need a paid developer account to be able to get Xcode 4 for free. Don't want to pay $5. Much appreciated noirdesir.



    Are these gestures available for the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 3rd & 4 Gen as well? I guess not.



    Success! Thanks a lot guys. I now have multitasking gestures working on my iPad. Neat trick.

    All Right! No NDA!



    Here's some WAG speculation:



    iOS 4.3 contains all the prores codecs -- I wonder why -- there is nothing [currently] running on iOS that uses prores codecs.



    I can think of several possibilities:



    -- iMovie on the Mac recognizes AVCHD on SD cards

    -- it is possible that iMovie on the iPad 2 with the CCK could do the same thing

    -- the next release of Final Cut for the Mac could support the iPad

    -- the iPad 2 could include Thunderbolt support through the dock connector

    -- this would allow high-speed transfer of large files between Macs and iPads

    -- this would allow the iPad to be used as an additional display for the Mac

    -- this, also, could allow the iPad 2 to be used as a touch control surface for Final Cut apps running on the Mac



    ... Mac meet Touch -- Touch meet Mac

Doesn't need to be the computer you normally sync, can even be a PC when you normally use Mac, and maintains all settings.

    I never get my iPhone or iPad to work the update like that. I use my mac for the reg and software but sync with a pc as my downloaded media are all there. It download the update alright but failed at the 11th hour on installation. Maybe I'm holding it wrong?

    The hotspot feature works awesomely here in New Zealand on the Vodafone network.



    This is singlehandedly the coolest feature because now I can synch my software with my iOS devices no matter where I am.



    Thanks Apple for thinking outside the box.

    Yes. The install went smoothly on my 64GB 3G including retaining all 1554 Apps in the same place I left them in. Took about 2 hours. All is noticeably faster but part of that perception could be placebo.



    Dual Browser Free is already super fast.
