iPhone OS 4.0 is in sight. What does it mean for you?

Apple announced today that they will be releasing the next version of their mobile software this summer - iPhone OS 4.0. The announcement came on the heals of the highly anticipated iPad launch.

What does 4.0 do that my old 3.2 doesn’t?

• Multitasking - It’s FINALLY HERE! … if you have a 3Gs.
• Customizable Wallpaper - Apple introduced this on the iPad and those that jailbreak their phones have had this option for a while now. 
• Game Center - Similar to XBox live it that users can share achievements and see leaderboards for the games they are playing.
• iAd - Apples new Ad network they are now sharing a 60/40% split with their advertisers.
• iBooks - Yup, you guessed it, Apple is pushing the iBook app they launched on the iPad just a few short days ago to the iPhone.
• Email Enhancements to mail.app - Merge your inbox, swap quickly between inboxes, now you have the ability to sync more than one Exchange account. Apple is finally catching on that people like the idea of threaded messaging and in-app attachment viewing. Something I know I’ve been missing as I’ve been spoiled by gmail.

These are a few of the new things the users will see. There are over 1,500 new API’s for the developers to build on. Looks like the app store won’t be getting an easier to browse.

We can only hope that “Summer” to Apple means June/July rather than Sept/Oct. Oh and when is my new iPhone 4.0 Hardware coming? I’m ready to give you more money Steve Jobs! What are your thoughts on the announcement? Lets chat!
