They may well do but the beta is out there if you know where to look and you can pretty much buy the ability to upgrade to it for a small cost.

Good news on them giving people options with the lock switch, given their preference for people to do it how they demand you do wonder how much negative feedback they must have had to do this though.

Some of the new gestures sound just as good as they do on other devices such as the blackberry playbook, but that pinch to home gesture seems pretty clunky especially if their intention is for it to allow them to dump the single button, having home being the reverse of the multitasking menu seems like it would be more intuitive.
