0 Next-generation iDevices to be ‘Home’less [Rumor]

In an earlier leaked report of CDMA iPhone, some of the unknown sources claimed that Apple is working on ‘new devices’ that require ‘different’ manufacturing materials. Coincidently, BGR’s source close to Apple also gives us a hint about the upcoming iDevices.

Everyone knows that Cupertino guys will introduce new iPad (iPad 2) and  new iPhone (iPhone 5) in 2011, and first beta of iOS 4.3 also shows that Apple developers are definitely working on new gadgets. So, what will be the-new-thing in these devices?
Well, BGR’s source said Apple will use iOS 4.3’s multi-touch gestures to remove Home button from future devices -

We have exclusively been told that the reason Apple just added multitouch gestures for the iPad in the latest iOS 4.3 beta is because the iPad will be losing the home button. Yes, we are told that Apple, at some point in time, will remove the home button from the iPad’s design. Instead of button taps, you will use new multitouch gestures to navigate to the home screen and also to launch the app switcher.
That’s not all, however. In addition to the home button disappearing from the iPad, we’re told that this change will make its way over to the iPhone as well. Our source said Apple employees are already testing iPads and iPhones with no home buttons on the Apple campus, and it’s possible we will see this new change materialize with the next-generation iPad and iPhone devices set to launch this year.
Additionally, we’re told Apple’s popular photo-taking application, Photo Booth, will be appearing on the next iPad. It’s also very possible that we’ll see iLife apps for iOS unveiled around the iPad 2 release as well.

Do you think Apple will launch an iPad or iPhone without Home button?
