iPhone OS 4.0 Features

“So that is iAd, and that’s our seventh tent-pole.” Applause. “Let’s review: multitasking, folders, iBooks, GameKit, iAd… these are just some of the over 100 user features, and over 1500 new developer APIs in iPhone 4.” - from live.gdgt.com

iPad and iPhone 3GS would do almost everything.

Now, we’re releasing a developer preview today. You can get it today at developer.apple.com. We are releasing it to end users this summer, and that’s for the iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen (last fall’s). They will run pretty much everything.”

Meanwhile, for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2nd generation :

“For iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd gen, they will run many things, but not everything — they will not support multitasking, the hardware just can’t do it.”

Shit. *face palm*

For the game social networking features, it pretty much interesting. And maybe, knock out Xbox Live. LOL. Now, we can challenge player over the net. Nice!

As in folders, for jailbreakers, we already used to it by Categories application. However, since the Folders features update in iPhone OS 4.0, it pretty much preferable.

I do not bother much about iAd since it focus on the developers. I think, the iAd features will change the whole level of advertisement on mobile platform. User can interact with the advertisement without leaving their app.

Apple will host and serve the advertisement, and 60% of the profit goes to developers.

But, still NO FLASH. One of the ad use HTML5. LOL. Ouch, Adobe.

Oh ya, pretty much improve on Pandora and Skype too. Can't comment much since i miss the live event of it.

I wonder about my wifi issue will solve. Ouh, please.

iPhone OS 4.0 dev available to developers starting tomorrow. Meanwhile, for end users, at the end of this summer.
