First iPhone OS 4.0 Details Leaked?

Posted January 19, 2010 at 12:27pm by iClarified
The first details about the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 reportedly been leaked online by the BoyGeniusReport.

Here is what their 'trusty' source has told them:

● 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. Everyone is “really excited.”
● The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.


The iPhone OS 4.0 firmware is expected to be announced at Apple's special event on January 27th.

Hope they will add something like sbs settings, to quickly toggle wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc. on/off. That's the only reason why I jailbreak

Yes, you will lose your unlock/jailbreak if you update, as always.

You have to wait for Geohot and the devteam before you upgrade the firmware on your iPhone. They have been great about designing ways to keep your unlock, or unlock new basebands that Apple releases.

You wont actually know until the release date of the update. Then you will know what has changed and what George & the Dev Team will have to update in their software to unlock/jailbreak the new OS.

I don't even know what new features I can possibly ask for but happy nevertheless what else they got in store with the new update. One thing it can't make me coffee yet what a design flaw that it!! Thrilled to see what the iSlate, pad, tablet is going to be!!

I hope they change the interface, it needs an overhaul. I'm tired of the pages of apps, I want some diversity!!!

jailbreak the iphone and theme it.

I've had my iPhone jailbroken since day 1, I'm not talking about themes. I want a whole new way besides the apps and page view. I know there is one or two different styles out there like the wheel, but I don't like that. I want more that just pages of apps.

Apple will most likely like to keep it the apple way. If they wanted to be an Microsoft, Blackberry, or Andriod they would.

Wonder if the Syncing will be Bluetooth or WiFi?
Jeff

Hope the Sync is FINALLY working with Snow Leopard Server... This would mean, 4.0 and the Server Updates. Like to see a LOT fixed and or Changed. Using Winterboard make it nice to look at. YOU can Push iCal via Snow Leopard server, but nothing Else so far, and it's not a True Sync..
