Apple slipped out a developer's pre-release version (not sure if it's Alpha or Beta, but it's a way off of a full release) of iOS 4.3 last night.
http://www.reghardware.com/2011/01/13/apple_ios_4_3/
Features reported so far:
Support for iPad 2 and iPhone 5 (pretty much a given that it would support these).
iPad: New gestures for navigating the pad (swipe left or right with four fingers to go to previous/next app, swipe with 5 fingers to go to home).
iPad: The switch on the side can now either mute the iPad, or lock the orientation of the screen (wish they'd implement this on iPhone).
The facility the Verizon iPhone has to act as a WiFi hotspot is to be rolled out to other iPhones (not sure of which models though). Seems this might be restricted to those who have the tethering option enabled by their mobile provider..
Also, it looks like MobileMe will be getting a new feature called "FindMyFriend". No official word on what this does, but it is logical that it's lie Google's Latitude, or Facebook Places.
Finally what I consider the biggy. The latest iOS SDK includes support for App Developers to use Airplay. Be interesting to see what they make of this..

In addition to this, it looks like it has camera facilities, which are presumably for the iPad 2.
