I know it has been a few days now since the official update for iOS 4.3 has been released by Apple. Lets see what improvements does it have compared to that of iOS 4.2.
I've installed it on my iPhone 4 and look forward to the update on my iPad 2. That is if my iPad 2 comes with it installed. There's a whole different topic to that with first impressions/unboxing to a full review.
Now here's what iOS 4.3 offers us. The main one being the ability to have your iPhone and iPad especially with mobile network to allow a hotspot for other devices. This was already launched with Google's Android 2.2 Froyo Operating System. That one was pretty good and I shall compare with the iOS 4.3 version. See the section Android 2.2/Froyo's WiFi Hot Spot Review for a complete review.
Overall iOS 4.3 definitely does make the iPhone slightly faster. I have still yet to see the functionality of true widgets in which I can customize to my liking with that of the Android OS.
Stay tuned for the iPad 2 Unboxing and First Impression pics and a brief overview.
