Now that the iPad 2 is out of the way, Apple wants people to know what’s coming with iOS, starting with iOS 4.3, which will ship on the iPad 2.

First of all, Safari performance is getting a major boost, thanks to Apple’s new Nitro JavaScript engine.

Next up, iTunes home sharing, which will allow you to stream all of your content directly over WiFi.

Alongside iTunes homesharing, AirPlay is going to get some much needed improvements, including the ability to allow apps and even websites to play AirPlay Video.

iOS 4.3 also adds a preference for the iPad switch: either mute, or rotation lock.

iPhone 4 customers will get personal hotspot, a la the Verizon iPhone.

It’s a small bump, but no one expected more for a point iteration. I wonder if they’ll next talk about iOS 5. That’s where the big changes will happen.
