An article by bapagoh    1 Comment

Everyone is hoping to hear from Apple on 27th of January what will be the new features available on iPhoneOS 4.0 when it is released, especially when facing tougher competition coming from Android and soon to be coming Windows Mobile 7.

According to some guys from Gizmodo, we are expecting the following features:

• There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide.
• “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.
• 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.
• There will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.

Excited?  Let wait till next Wednesday.
