PhotoBooth on the iPad is expected to make its way to the fourth generation iPhone and iPod Touch as well. While the App hasn’t been packaged yet with iOS 4.3, indicators that it’s available for the iPad are enough indicators these Apps will be coming to all iOS devices that can support them. The same effects found in the Mac OS X version of PhotoBooth are likely to be included.
