And more to come when the new iPhone model gets unveiled in June!


MULTITASKING:
Developers will have access to seven multitasking services, which will allow tasks to be performed in the background while preserving performance and battery life. So youll be able to make a Voice over IP call while playing a game or checking email, find a restaurant on Urbanspoon while listening to Pandora, and more.

FOLDERS:
Organize apps into folders with drag-and-drop simplicity. Get faster access to your favorites and browse and manage up to 2160 apps at once — many more than the current limit of 180 apps.

BETTER MAIL:
See messages from all your email accounts displayed together in a unified inbox, switch between inboxes more quickly, organize messages by threads, and even open attachments in third-party apps.

iBOOKS:
The best way to browse, buy, and read books on a mobile device. Easily flip through the pages of a book you've downloaded from the iBookstore while listening to your music collection. Browse tens of thousands of books — many of them free — by title, author, or genre. You can even check out reviews and read sample pages before you buy.

iPhone OS 4 will work with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the second- and third-generation iPod touch this summer, and with iPad in the fall. Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking is available only with iPhone 3GS and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).

i think the muilt-tasking has been poorly done. It dose not seem to be true muilt-tasking. if you try and switch applications the application just starts up again. Example. If you start playing angry birds, then switch to mail and then switch back, the app just starts up again, I'm not sure if this is because developers need to code this in the app but clearly this is not true muilt-tasking.

@AAG885 Apps like Angry Bird need to be submitted and made for iOS4, so most games aren't compatible yet for multitasking, the developer has to make it work that way. So until then certain apps will just start over like the normally do.

[ItsOnBTV]

@offroad259 yes the 21st, sometime in the morning maybe 10am PST

Multitasking that's innovative (for apple) GPS turn by turn that's innovative (for apple) Drag and drop apps into folders, How about damn drag and drop files from my computer, screw iTunes. Unified Inbox, how is that new oh wait it's new for apple, iBooks and social gaming again new only for iPhone users. Only apple would think iAd is a feature wtf, No not happy I want innovation the apple was known for not just keeping up with the Jones. Please apple make it better.
