BGR is reporting that Apple is already preparing a small point release of iOS 4.3 for release within two weeks time, and when it lands, iOS 4.3.1 will not only close the iPad 2’s jailbreak vulnerability, but update the baseband for the iPhone 3GS and first-gen iPad as well.
Here’s the fixes, according to BGR:
Baseband updates for the 3GS and iPad (original)
Fixed memory hang that results in memory corruption when reading large files from USIM filesystem
Fixed problem with NTLM authentication in apps and on websites
Fixed issue with the Springboard and 3rd party apps not recgonizing the gyroscope on the iPad 2
Fixed iPad 2 jailbreak vulneratbility
No word there on fixing the massive battery life drains that users of fourth-generation iPod Touches have been reporting, or a software fix for the yellowing display problems some iPad 2 owners have been experiencing. There’s also no word as to whether or not iOS 4.3.1 will be available for Verizon iPhone customers.

And what about the graphical glitches iPod Touch users (like me) have been experiencing? I’m surprised they haven’t figured out a fix for that yet…
The battery drain issue seems to be recurring every time there is a iOS update. May not affect you everytime, but once in a while. One fix seems to be a Restore – sometimes, though, as ‘New Device’, is necessary.
It’s not just fourth-gen iPod Touches that have the battery problem. My original iPad alsosuffers from the battery issue since upgrading to 4.3.
ditto here on iPad 1
I have the battery issues on my iPhone 4. It’s not just the touch 4G.
My iphone 4 3g from Verizon has been draining the battery at night since 2 nights ago when I upgraded to 4.3, all the usual solutions don’t seem to help? :0( What does Apple say regarding a solution?
