iPhone 4.0 OS Rumors Fly - BREAKING
Tech site, BoyGeniusReport, is saying they have leaked details on the iPhone rumored 4.0 OS unveiling at Apple's event later this month. Here's what they've got:
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'm interested in hearing where they got this info and how no one else has had their own intel on this. From what it looks like this 4.0 OS will also be shared by the "iSlate", but if that's the case then are we looking at just an oversized iPhone or an actual mobile desktop? Apple, my interest is peaked.
I'm still trying to figure out what their angle is with this tablet/slate concept. I want to see how they sell the device, which up until now still hasn't even had unrefutabal evidence of its existence.
