New iPhone OS after CNY?

It would seem that Verizon will be getting their CDMA iPhone in the month of the Chinese New Year (CNY). This may entail an iOS upgrade since the iOS has to cater for the CDMA chip. I was thinking if at this point, they will add in the multi-touch gestures for closing an app (one tap on Home button) and to access the background apps (double tap on Home button) as rumoured.

Personally though, I think the addition of the multi-touch gesture for closing an app and accessing the background apps is a no brainer. To close an app, you can just do a simple two-finger swipe downwards from the top of the iPhone screen. Likewise, to open the background tasks pane, just do a simple two-finger swipe upwards from the bottom of the iPhone screen.

This feature will be useful. At least it will not stress the Home button. I feel that my home button is going to be spoilt soon. Now, if they add in the mobile hotspot found in the Verizon iPhone, that would be the icing on the cake.
