Personal hotspot works perfectly. Actually, even better than perfectly since it's activated on my iphone without me paying anything extra for it. Very nice.

It looks like it doesn't work on 3GS. I wonder if there's any technical limitation preventing it to work or just a marketing strategy.

When can we hope to get a 4.3 for Verizon? I hope we're not going to start seeing from fragmentation like Android already has, as this post correctly observes: http://shysnowsquare.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/no-fragmentati...

The same thing happened with the original iPad, most likely, as was noted above, 4.3 was already nearly done when the Verizon iPhone was being prepared, as seen by many 4.3 features being in the current ViPhone. Most likely the next release or the June iOS 5 will again reunite the lines. This has happened before.

Is the iOS 4.3 upgrade not going to come out for the iPod Touch 3rd gen? Isn't this the same hardware generation as the iPhone 3GS that is supported by 4.3? Does anyone know?

It installed without a problem on my 3rd generation iPod touch (64GB) and the Apple website says that it’s compatible with 3rd generation iPod touches [0]. Why are you asking? Is it not working for you?

I’m actually wondering whether 4.3 works on the 8GB “3rd generation” (by name only) iPod touches since those had identical specs to 2nd generation iPod touches. Apple’s website is quiet about that so I assume it works.

Thanks! I asked because Ars reported that it was available for "4th-generation iPod touch". Your response was exactly what I was hoping for, as I wasn't in a position to try it myself.
