Yep !
It's a way of pushing crap to end users & burning bandwidth. I realise that the usual justification of adding a revenue stream to support developers will be rolled out. But it doesn't mean I have to like it.
So the iPod touch 2G won't be able to do multitasking (understandable), Bluetooth keyboards (understandable, different Bluetooth spec?), but no custom wallpaper. The custom wallpaper was the one feature that I was looking forward to on my iPod touch 2G. There is no way this is a hardware dependent feature. It's more like a feature Apple wants to leave out to get folks to upgrade to an iPod touch 3G or newer. Lame.

You do have to wonder how much that one cost. At my office, it left all of us dumbfounded when he called out IOS (though we're the server admins, all of our networking backbone is Cisco and some of us have dabbled in IOS before).
I'll wait and see
I'm trying to do less on my iphone and more on my machines (to see if I can keep the data usage down). But the features sound very good.

While I'm sick of iEverything and think it's tired, I do like iOS a lot better than iPhone OS. Much easier. Now they need to fix iTunes, iPhoto (which also handles videos...kind of), and Mac OS X, which still confuses people to this day a decade after its introduction.
You do realize that iOS is based on OS X right? It's just OS X with a different interface that's tuned specifically for iPhone/iPad's touchscreen? Just like Mac OS X is tuned specifically for the desktop/laptop use?
hmm. really nothing much new about iOS 4. i was hoping they named it that b/c apple tv was gonna get it
Sorry but don't agree with you. You need to either sell it elsewhere or wait till your post count is higher. Every one of us have the same limitation. I already reported you for spam, stop posting this.

iOS was the name of a webtop (web-based desktop) that I invented. It is on version 5.0, and 1.0 was last year. Now I have to think of another name.
And I can't enjoy the fact that the update is free for iPod Touch users, because I have a 1st generation!
grrrr...

Seriously, I think Cisco was there first. Next time try to go for originality.
iOS for iPad
Ok, why have we suspiciously left out the iPad in this equation. I know iPad is pretty useless at the moment but it most definitely has the umpf to handle iOS 4 so why no mention?

What are you talking about, this was announced a while back. iPad gets OS 4 in the fall :

Do we really need to talk about this again ?
i'd guess that it will at the media event this fall. just a hunch that its still not 'ready' yet. but it is a good idea.
Oh yea
Sorry, Short term memory loss. However at the time there was little word on actually when the iPhone 4 was going to be announced so I assumed that with the news coming before the fall maybe the date would be pushed up.
