Apple is sending out invites "for a sneak peek of the next generation of iPhone OS software" on April 8 at 10AM Pacific.
It's been rumored that the new OS will support Expose-like multi-tasking...
Those familiar with the design of iPhone 4.0 said that the user interface will resemble Apple's desktop Expose feature, in that a key combination -- reportedly hitting the Home button twice -- will trigger an expose-like interface that brings up a series of icons representing the currently running apps, allowing users to quickly select the one they want to switch to directly. When a selection is made, the iPhone OS zooms out of the Expose task manager and transitions to that app.

Can't wait. Usually, Apple don't disappoint with their iPhone software updates. I'm hoping the 4.0 release will go hand in hand with iPhone 4th Generation too :D
5MP camera? Front facing Camera? Not really bothered about multitasking since good 'ol backgrounder has got that covered for me ;)

hmm, multitasking.. I'm not a fan of it. It will use alot more battery ressources and the iphone hasn't got enough left for that....
