iPhone OS4

After the long wait, iPhone OS4 is finally out! But the bad news is, alot of people including me myself are waiting for the next generation for iPhone which is iPhone 4G, but too bad they are not releasing it so soon. Sigh, need to wait for a long time again.

Me myself is using iPhone 2G, yeah the old and bulky version of iPhone. I got my iPhone a week after it was launched in America. It was very cool holding an iPhone back then since no one else in Malaysia actually has it. But nowadays iPhone is just like any normal phones out there, not so special anymore. Especially me, holding an old iPhone 2G =(

Ok let’s move on to the new iPhone OS4. The new OS have 7 new features in it.

1) Multitasking – Almost every iPhone users hope for this feature to be out for a long time. Finally it’s here now! But the bad news to it is that it drains more battery life than normal.

2) Folders – No more messy iPhone applications when you have folders, it just work like a folder in your computer

3) Enhanced Mail – Well, just enhanced mail feature, nothing much here.

4) iBooks – An iPad application now comes to iPhone. iBooks is an application where you can download “books” into your iphone and read it anytime you want.

5) Better Data Protection – Support for multiple Exchange accounts, Exchange Server 2010, and new VPN options.

6) Game Center – Now you can have your own achievements and  leaderboards in the game. You can also invite friends for multiplayer, theres even a matchmaking feature for it.

7) iAds – Ads ~ Lol

Anyway the iPhone OS4 is compatible only with iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen. For the older versions, well… everything else works, just the multitasking doesn’t.
