News@8pm: iOS 4.3 updates and new Blackberry leaked

More rumours surrounding the much anticipated Apple iPad 2. According to some reports, the new Apple tablet will not feature the usual home button with the iOS 4.3 update, instead being replaced, possibly, with the multitouch capabilties which are already well known on Apple devices. Apple's iOS 4.3 has taken some more interesting steps today, as developers look to wet our apetite in reinforcing some speculation surrounding what features will actually be available on the newest version of iOS. Some of these features include the ability for the iPhone to convert its 3G connection into a personal wireless hotspot so you can enjoy additional online devices.
