iOS 4.3: to update or not to update?



With the approaching release of iOS 4.3 for our iDevices, the inevitable is going to happen - unjailbreaking (at least on my part). As per the review of TUAW, there isn't much to see and crave for on this latest iOS update esp for the iPhone. In fact,  the update has been confined to iPhone 3GS onwards, excluding the recently released CDMA iPhone for Verizon. On the brighter side, it will provide a plethora of enhancements for the iPad. (Awesomeness for those who own an iPad).


These are the significant changes that we are about to experience on the new iOS:
- improved web browsing perfomance via Mobile Safari's injection of Nitro Java Script engine
- enhanced Airplay features
- iPad screenlock preferences
- iTunes Home Sharing
- Personal Hotspot (the iPhone4 only)

I've been posting iOS releases since i got a hand with my iDevice, The most dramatic and yet useful change so far that i've experienced was when Apple released the iOS 4.1. The update has simply metamorphosized my view and perception with iOS into a great i couldn't-ask-for-more  feeling.

I will definitely try this new update come March 11. Make sure you have dLed the latest iTunes already. :)
