We have some pretty great news for you you and while it’s hard to believe it at first, it does make sense. We have been told that the reason Apple just added multitouch gestures for the iPad in the latest iOS 4.3 beca is because the iPad will be losing the home button.
Yes, you’ve heard right, at some point in time, they will remove the home button from the iPad’s design. Instead of button taps, you will use new multitouch gestures to navigate tot the home screen and also to launch the application switcher.
In addition to the home button disappearing from the iPad, we’re told that this change will make its way over to the iPhone as well. Our source said Apple employees are already testing iPads and iPhones with no home buttons on the Apple campus, and it’s possible we will see this new change materialize with the next generation iPad and iPhone devices set to launch this year.
