Test Multi-Touch Gestures for iPad
This beta release contains a preview of new Multi-Touch gestures for iPad. You can use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen; swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar; and swipe left or right between apps. We are providing this preview before releasing them to the public to understand how these gestures work with your apps. Test them and give us your feedback on the Apple Developer Forums.
Agreda, Jr. reports, “A new version of Xcode (Preview 6 beta) was also released to support the beta iOS build and adds Airplay and Apple TV services (not apps on Apple TV — yet) for apps.”

Does this mean trackpad gestures for the ATV?
Nice
Now go fix me a turkey pot-pie!
iOS itself is a one-finger gesture to Steve Ballmer…
swipe between apps
one step closer to my wish of taking OSX Lion “Back to the iPad”
now we just need dashboard and mission control
MORE GESTURES!!! FINALLY!
I’ve been distraught over Apple’s failure to expand the field of multi-touch gestures for the iPad. That big screen is beckoning for them.
The new gestures described sound like a great start. I wasn’t expecting anything in that realm until iOS 5 at the earliest.
And the switch on the side becomes user programmable, so we’ll have the orientation lock back where it belongs. Yay!
Remember to sWipe your ApSS when you’re done pinching!
Time to crap your pants now fandroids. Yes, I’m speaking to you foot soldiers trapped in Googlistsn.
You’re fodder for the Apple M1 Abrams! Bye bye Xoom, you’ve had your day in the sun. Now move over for the only game in town.
Da Rock rocks!!!!
I still don’t see apps coming to AppleTV. There’s just no good method for input, certainly not the remote that comes with it. And if you’re going to use your iPhone/iPod/iPad to interface, then you don’t need apps on AppleTV – just AirPlay for apps.
Great point, airplay for apps would be amazing.
The Apple TV with Airplay is fantastic, but I have to render a video shot on my iPhone 4 in iMovie or something before I can watch it on my Apple TV. I’d love to be able to shoot a video with the iPhone and then immediately AirPlay said video on the TV.
Anyone know if this is in iOS 4.3, or at least on the horizon?
What airplay functions did it open up? Also, does the release include wifi hotspot?
Nice one FatMac. Cracked me up!
@manbearpig I don’t know this first hand, but from what I’ve read iOS 4.3 allows 3rd party apps to use airplay for videos (as well as embeded vids in Safari) and it also allows video from the camera roll to be played via Airplay
Airplay for apps. Microwho WhatBox?
Rev Dr., get real. I love my iPad and ATV is cool but they are no competition for the awesomeness of an XBOX.
