Apple’s latest iOS 4.3 operating system, announced the other day at the iPad 2 launch, is now available to download for iPads, iPhones and iPod touches from iTunes.
The big addition that comes with version 4.3 is the ability to use your iPhone 4 as a personal hotspot to share the data connection. Up to five devices can piggyback on your Apple phone, though there’s a limit of three connecting by either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, while only a single device can tag up vias USB.
That aside, iOS 4.3 also brings the convenience of iTunes Home Sharing. With most iTunes users keeping their chief library on their Mac or PC, you can now access that library via Wi-Fi from any iDevice in range running iOS 4.3. Handy.
Then there’s AirPlay video streaming, which takes Apple’s streaming system to the next level. Now you can share videos wirelessly from the Photos app, plus the likes of iTunes previews and third-party content from the Apple TV system.
There’s plenty more besides, which helps explain why the download weighs in at just under 670MB.
