iPhone OS 4.0 Features Leaked?
According to BGR, the update to the iPhone OS, which may come as soon as the special Apple next Wednesday, will include:
There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide. (Would make sense for that as the rumored OS for the iTablet is close if not the same as the iPhone
“A few new ways” to run applications in the background — multitasking.
Many graphical and UI changes to make navigating through the OS easier and more efficient. We haven’t had this broken down, but we can only hope for improved notifications, a refreshed homescreen, etc.
The update will supposedly be available for only the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but will “put them ahead in the smartphone market because it will make them more like full-fledged computers” more than any other phone to date. Everyone is “really excited.”
The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.
I find most of the features likely, however I am very unhappy that the update may not be for iPod Touch. Though it does make sense, due to the fact the iPhone has many more healthy competitors.
