Apple cans iPad multitasking gestures?
Tue, 25th Jan 2011
FYI, this story is more than a year old

An updated beta build of iOS 4.3 includes a notice that multitasking gestures for the iPad will not be enabled in the consumer-ready version of the new OS, reports MacWorld.

The report confirms that multitasking gestures are still present in the beta 2 for developers to test, but it won’t be enabled in a forthcoming iOS 4.3 for consumers.

All this probably means is that Apple’s still working on the finer details of how multitasking gestures will work on iPads (and iPhones).

Hopefully the firm can make them simple enough for the mass market to come to terms with, otherwise it might not happen (for a while at least).
