Seven New Features Announced Of The OS 4.0 IPhone

Posted by tomgreen on June 11, 2010

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. OS 4.0 iPhone is based on seven “tentpole” features, each of which is supposed to make the iPhone better. Unfortunately OS 4.0 can only be supported on either the IPhone 3G or the IPod Touch 3rd generation. The operating system might otherwise be purchased with same day loans.

OS 4.0 iPhone Feature 1: Multitasking

It’s what many, many people were hoping OS 4.0 iPhone features would include – and now it’s here. 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. Games, VOIP calls, and Pandora will continue to run in a dock at the bottom of your screen and iPhone applications will switch quickly between each other. Any IM or Twitter conversations can’t be included as part of the multitasking of the OS 4.0 operations yet.

Folders are the second OS 4.0 Feature

One of the most popular hacks for unlocked iPhone and iPad systems 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.

The third OS 4.0 feature is enhanced mail

The OS 4.0 iPhones will have enhanced mail that creates a unified mailbox. You can choose whether you want all of your emails to end up in the same box or in separate folders no matter what e-mail they come from. Also, the OS 4.0 iPhone will sort messages according to conversation.

The fourth OS 4.0 iPhone feature is the iBook

Now the iBook application will be available to those who have OS 4.0 iPhone. Buy, read and enjoy books on your iPhone. It is simple although it could be dangerous to any debt management plan.

OS 4.0 iPhone Feature 5: Enterprise Features

The fifth feature of the OS 4.0 iPhone is really a suite of features targeted for the 80 percent of Fortune 100 companies that use the iPhone. You will have more data protecting, app distribution, VPN options, and mobile device management. If you need help breaking those down, ask your IT guy.

A game center is the sixth OS 4.0 feature

Currently the iPhone has more than 50,000 game titles in the app store. The OS 4.0 iPhone will have a social gaming platform not unlike the kind Xbox users use. Leaderboards, matchmaking and achievement tracking for all the time-wasting games that are great on the bus ride to work.

The seventh OS 4.0 iPhone feature, 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.”Supposedly, iAd will give the opportunity for over 1 billion advertising impressions a day – basically, 10 ads a day will show up on your OS 4.0 iPhone if you use apps for 30 minutes. All of the iAds will look like they are running in applications as applications. {Jobs promises “interactive” and “emotion-filled” ads}. Any developers who plan to let iAds into their applications will get a 40% split on any advertising profit.

Availability of the OS 4.0 iPhone?

Developers have access to the OS 4.0 iPhone kits right now. This is to ensure that when OS 4.0 iPhone sales start – in the summer – that there are lots of applications available. For any iPad users, the OS 4.0 iPhone is going to be released in the fall.
