iPhone OS 4.0 Preview Event Scheduled for This Thursday

[cjmillsnun]

iOS?

Cisco won't give that up period! It's still very much an active brand for them.

Oh god :S

I've got an iPhone 3G S coming tomorrow from an upgrade.

Think I should hold out until at least this Thursday or June at the most?

Let me know of your suggestions guys.

100% wait until June. You'll get much better iPhone along with OS4

Are you sure? I thought it was a "portable" not necessarily a mobile device.

I think if they want to show the distinction they should do:
Mac OS X Desktop
Mac OS X Server
Mac OS X Touch

No, they already have that, and no.

new mbp as well?

They didn't introduce new computers at the 2009 and 2008 iphone OS event, so I doubt they are doing it now. However, in 2009 they updated the Mac Pros, iMacs, and Mac Minis two weeks before this event as a silent update, and in 2008 they updated the Mac Pros two weeks after the 2008 iPhone OS event.

What I'm curious about is whether we'll see the next gen iPhone at this event. IIRC, previews of 2.0 and 3.0 did not coincide with announcements of the 3G and 3GS.

100% not. The iPhone OS events have always been in late March (this year it's pushed to early April) and the new iPhones were always unveiled at the next WWDC, and that's probably happening again this year.

Looking forward to the event! Hopefully a beta version is released to developers

Which apps really need to run in the background? Internet radio/Pandora types for sure. But what else? Most of the other apps I use remain static when I exit to do some other task. My gut feeling is that Apple will provide developers with the tools to allow their apps to run in the background, but that Apple will be the ones to decide which apps actually receive approval. I wouldn't be surprised if some developers will have to justify their reasons for allowing the app to run in the background.

I would love to be able to send a text message without having to exit the current window i am in. I loved being able to do that with my old jailbroken phone.

 

[I WAS the one]

this is gonna be HUGE. I'm hoping of a brand new interface design, with lots of multitouch gestures and a magical interface lol

One app you WON'T see thanks Messiah Steve:

An iPhone app that helps consumers detect how much radiation their phone puts out.

It Better Be Good

Been waiting for this for a long time. Better be worth the wait and the new iphone is rumored to have an aluminum style benzel compared to the ipad backing as well as the current gen macbook pro's. I believe this would be sick. Can't wait till 4th generation iphone comes cause I'm gonna get it!

Quick, time to come up with a list of unreasonable demands so that outrage can be expressed when they're not included.

 

[marksman]

I hope people who are waiting on multi-tasking don't get disappointed if it does not happen, or it happens in a limited controlled way.

 

[wickerman1893]

I will be happy if flash and multitasking dont get included, but i would like multitouch.

 

[currentinterest]

If Apple implements multitasking it will be done well and work great in 256 MB. They new what they were developing, they new what the iPad would have, they planned this a long time in advance, it will all work and work well.

 

[Sleazy E]

I still don't understand why people want multitasking so badly. Multitouch gestures, however, is something I am looking forward to.

Well said.

Did you ask us the same question when Apple implemented and perfected copy and paste?

The Kool-Aid's great, by the way. It tastes a lot sweeter when you keep backing the winning horse.

I reckon there will be a lot of happy campers who just bought their iPads, knowing that they'll get a (hopefully) free software update in June/July.

It feels like Apple have been holding back a tidal wave of new product info thats just about to hit us!

Apple has stated that 4.0 IS free.

 

[macswitcha2]

It be nice if it had stacks...

 

[labman]

Well I guess I know what

I'm doing Thursday afternoon! it's only 3 days so i'll wait rather then speculate!

Slinky linky?

Take it back asap!!

OS X Mobile
OS X Desktop

Simple enough.

How about
OS X CE?

 

[E.Lizardo]

Wondering if it's possible that the iPad actually has this technology and that it'll be "activated" through iPhone OS 4.
It would be pretty sweet.

Not at these prices!

 

[wickerman1893]

OS X CE?

Why would it have a X in the name.....i thought this was iPhone 4

 

[E.Lizardo]

If 4.0 has multitasking and comes to the iPad, what will the iPad haters have to whine about?

Sent from Mark's mini iPad.

Flash of course!
