Iphone 4.0 Os Firmware Rumors

In lue of the “Special Media Event” Apple is holding January 26th, presumably to announce something big, perhaps the “iTablet” and the new iPhone firmware, details of the new iPhone 4.0 OS were leaked recently with a few details of what we could be seeing as soon as next week. New features could include multi-touch gestures OS-wide, which adds to the rumour of the iTablet or iSlate using the same OS when launched.

Multitasking has also been mentioned in the leaked information that allows applications to be run in the background. Previously, Apple has suggested that this feature will make the iPhone crash, however many “jailbreakers” are already achieving this feature with success. We might see a limited version of this feature, perhaps “text” being able to be run in the background. Offering multi-tasking also might stop some of the “jailbreaking” that undercuts the integrity of apps, and in many cases, compromises the system’s reliability.
