Iphone OS 4.0 Features

9 April 2010 424 views No Comment

In an event at Cupertino, Apple revealed its new features that will be included in the upcoming upgrade to the iphone Operating System. Some of the features might not be new to the jailbreakers but is good news for those who don’t jailbreak.

 

Features

Multi-tasking

Its about time iphone had it. Other phones have had it for quite a while.

Folders

Each app can have its own folder. Easy to keep the apps organized,

Mail

Unified inbox for users of multiple mail boxes. Ability to add more than one Exchange account is a boon and am looking forward to that.

iBooks

An eBook app to read books on the go from your iphone. The ipad already has that but we will see that soon on iphone and itouch. But it will not matter to those in this part of the world(Singapore) as we don’t have an iTunes Store and will not be able to download books.

You can read on other features on Ars Technica as they have detailed out the features very well.

Availability

The iphone OS 4,0 will be available around summer which is June / July. Sadly iphone 3G and 2nd generation ipods will not get multitasking enabled.

Ipad owners will get the update in September.
