Steve Jobs Explaining iPhone OS 4.0 New Features

On April 8th 2010, Steve Jobs unveiled some of the new features available to iPhone App developers as well as the end-users, namely us iPhoners, that will be available with the iPhone OS 4.0 coming this summer.

The new iPhone OS 4.0 host alot of new features that we have been asking for. The number one on my list is the ability to multi-task. This is something that other smart phones have had over the iPhone in the past such as the Droid and the Nexus One.

iPhone OS 4.0 also adds 5x digital zoom to the camera application as well as adding tap to focus for the video on  3G S. That will be nice to have since the 3G S shoots a decent video. More media enhancement tools include GEO tagging for photo taken with your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S. iPhone OS 4.0 will also permit non-Jailbroken iPhone users to change your home screen wallpaper to whatever you like.

Another useful utility is the ability to group all your apps in folders. This is good if you have alot of games and business related apps and would prefer to arrange them in groups relative to their use. Also a handy spell check has been add and you can also use a bluetooth keyboard if you don’t like using the small touch screen for writing emails or other daily task that consist of alot of typing.

There are many more features available in this up coming update. We will post more as they reveal more of the features. In the mean time, check out the video…

New iPhone 4G coming to Verizon Wireless in 2010? After their Anti-iPhone Droid marketing
campaign?

According to Digitimes, OmniVision, the supplier of the 3.2 megapixel camera for the current iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS has secured 5-megapixel camera orders for the iPhone 4G . The iPhone 4th generation will launch in the second half of 2010. It will also contain a CDMA chip that allows it to be used on the Verizon Wireless network, if the rumors are true.

Apple launches new iPhones during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). This year the WWDC conference is expected to be held during June, so that’s when we will find out whether or not there really is an iPhone 4G coming to Verizon. I’m hoping there will be one because I know a lot of people that would buy the iPhone if it came to Verizon.
