Apple won't be that dickish...
Then again there was the whole original iPhone price drop thing.
last year everyone was: "Cut/Copy/Paste",
this year it seems to be "Multi Tasking"...
If it's as elegant as most of their solutions, it will definitely be worth it..
I also agree with above, that they may change the OS name to reflect more devices rather than just iPhone OS... and the update will be universal across these devices (currently, iPhone and iPod Touch and iPhone)..
Hopefully they'll show a sneak at the next iPhone hardware, but may save that for later.
I wonder if Steve will have his iPad on him for the Keynote presentation

I don't think Multiple user accounts would be that good on an iPhone, although if it can somehow have it so each user can have their own apps installed... I guess that could be good.
Well that didn't take long
I seriously think that this refresh will give people less to complain about on the iPad.
I think they just wanted to get the iPad out there and selling and then tell them this update was coming.
I suspect we see multitasking and some sort of overhaul for push notifications, as they dont really make sense on the ipad.
Very excited about this.

WOW I am excited, this came out of nowhere really! I mean I knew it was coming, but this was a nice surprise right after the iPad launch!
Sounds GREAT to me! Pretty realistic too I think.
Yes that too please!
YESSSS, I think we have a good chance of this. I just hope it is not only for the iPad!
Haha, NO DOUBT!
Really don't see a need for that!
P.S. Um Steve thanks for all this stuff, but about those Macs???

5. Loads of complaints on here about the things it doesn't include

surely in that presentation, refreshing the Macbook (Pro) line is a great candidate for a "one more thing" in the end, or warm-up in the beginning.
keep hoping
i've been following tech for almost 20 years and have never seen a newer version of any software ship with the same or lower system requirements as the previous version
Doubtful that there will be a "one more thing." They haven't done that in a bit.
But I'd say an update to the line is this month.
yeah I cant wait for it to show less than what I have done with my Jailbroken phone... its going to be amazing waste of time... the new OS for Iphone wont do half of what the Jailbroken Iphone can do.
If 4.0 has multitasking and comes to the iPad, what will the iPad haters have to whine about?

Welcoming news.
Anything in which this new OS is going to make life easier, is always good. YouTube app needs an overhaul (iPhone/iPod Touch) IMHO.

The iPhone OS so far has no system requirements. However, Snow Leo shipped with the same requirements (except dropped PowerPC support) as Leopard.
Just what Apple needs... another run-in with Cisco over a registered trademark. I don't think Cisco would change their entire core operating system name this time, and I don't think iOS vs the trademarked IOS will fly.
