Rumour: Apple to remove home button on next-gen iPad and iPhone
Photo Booth and iLife may also be on way
According to Boy Genius Report, Apple's iPad 2 and future versions of the iPhone won't have the familiar home button.
Murmurs began yesterday with the release of iOS 4.3 Beta and the subsequent find of new multi-touch gestures.
An 'Apple source' has apparently confirmed that said gestures are in-fact intended to replace the physical home button.
The new 'five-fingered' gestures give you the ability to navigate to the homescreen with a 'pinch', access the app switcher with a 'swipe', or easily change between apps with a 'flick'.
Aside from hardware, Apple is also rumoured to be bringing two new pieces of software to iOS.
Photo Booth, which will presumably bring snap-happy users a range of filters and effects; and, a range of iLife apps, which will be unveiled around the time of iPad 2.
With speculation placing the official unveiling of iPad 2 'sometime in February', more news is surely imminent.
