iPhone also getting Multitasking gestures and MobileMe Photo Streams

No matter how much apple may deny that it will disallow multitasking gestures in their final release software, they are starting to show up in various places including the iPhone settings panel.

The same problem we spoke about earlier, bothers us, using “four or five fingers” sounds pretty unreasonable for a 3.5-inch display.

9to5 Mac seems to have unearthed traces in the iOS 4.3 beta of a new feature called “Photo Streams” that seems to be a way to share continuous streams of photos with friends you approve, presumably through MobileMe.

Although Apple charges $99 for the mobileme service, which seems pretty unwanted. But, then again a mobileme refresh is also due this year

iOS 4.3 code reveals new iPhone and iPad models, No Home Button!

Looks like folks have been poking at the new beta 4.3 for iOS, seeded to developers today and they seem to have found, As history has repeated itself, New versions of iPhone and iPad. Namely, two new-generation iPhones (4,1 and 4,2) and three iPads (2,1; 2,2; and 2,3).

Ask us and we say, it’s the GSM and CDMA variants of the next-gen models (plus a WiFi-only iPad).

BGR is claiming it’s heard from sources that the next iPhone / iPad models will eschew the physical home button altogether in lieu of the new multi-finger gestures and that employees at Cupertino are already testing such devices.

Ask us : we already hate the fact that the Desire HD does not have Physical buttons. But, an iPhone without a home button, imagine using five fingers to zoom out on the iPhone with only 3.5″ of screen-real estate, to close an app, that just seems ridiculous to us. We seriously hope that, Apple keeps the home button, But, it does need a new design.
