Although the IPad has only been out a few days, and most of us are not even over the IPad hangovers, Steve Jobs had a big event yesterday to announce new OS 4.0 IPhone features. The iPhone is supposed to be much better now that it is based on the seven “tentpole†features. Unfortunately OS 4.0 can only be supported on either the IPhone 3G or the IPod Touch 3rd generation. You might otherwise have to get some same day loans if you want the operating system.
The first iPhone 4.0 feature is multitasking
Here it is, what people have finally been waiting and hoping would be included in the iPhone OS 4.0. Multitasking for the iPhone isn’t going to be true multitasking. Instead, OS 4.0 iPhone multitasking will be based on “pausing” or “minimizing” the processor load of applications. Pandora, VOIP calls and games will continue to “run” in a “dock” at the bottom of your screen, and OS 4.0 iPhone operations will switch quickly between the apps. Any conversations, such as IM or Twitter, are not currently included in the multitasking on OS 4.0 iPhone operations.
The second Is 4.0 feature, Folders
iPhone and iPad systems had a popular hack that was simple, adding folder management. Now users of the OS 4.0 will be able to organize all of their applications into folders without hacking them in the iPhone.
OS 4.0 iPhone Feature 3: Enhanced Mail
The enhanced mail will first and foremost have a unified mailbox for the OS 4.0 iPhones. This means your e-mails from any source can all be dumped into one inbox – or sorted into their own folders. Also, conversations will be a way that the OS 4.0 iPhone sorts messages.
OS 4.0 iPhone Feature 4: iBook
Now, just like the iPad, users of the OS 4.0 iPhone will be able to use the iBook app. You will be able to read, enjoy, and buy many books for your iPhone. It is simple although it could be dangerous to any debt management plan.
OS 4.0 iPhone Feature 5: Enterprise Features
The OS 4.0 iPhone’s fifth feature is really targeted towards 80 percent of 100 companies that use the iPhone. There will be better data protection, mobile device management, app distribution, and VPN options. If you need help breaking those down, ask your IT guy.
A game center is the sixth OS 4.0 feature
The App store currently has over 50,000 game titles. The new OS 4.0 iPhone will have a social gaming platform like that of the Xbox Live. Leaderboards, matchmaking and achievement tracking for all the time-wasting games that are great on the bus ride to work.
OS 4.0 iPhone Feature 7: iAd
Steve Jobs didn’t pull any punches when he talked about the advertising platform on OS 4.0 iPhones. To put it bluntly, he said “we think most of this kind of advertising sucks.”The iAd will give 1 billion advertising opportunities a day, meaning that 10 ads a day will show up on your OS 4.0 iPhone when using applications for at least 30 minutes. The ads on iAd, though, look more like apps that run in apps. {Jobs promises “interactive” and “emotion-filled” ads}. Those app developers who take part in the iAds as a part of their applications will get a 40% split from advertising profit.
Availability of the OS 4.0 iPhone?
Developers have access to the OS 4.0 iPhone kits right now. This is because they want there to be a lot of applications available when summer hits and the OS 4.0 iPhone goes on sale. For any iPad users, the OS 4.0 iPhone is going to be released in the fall.
