iPhone OS 4 unveiled

Apple held a brief press conference today to unveil the new features of their iPhone OS 4. Thousands of Apple fans were waiting eagerly in anticipation for Mr Steve Jobs to demonstrate some amazing new features. So, let’s reveal those new features!

There are 7 main updates (“tentpole” features as Jobs described them) in iPhone OS 4, and those are:

• Multitasking (more like saved states and fast app switching though, not true multitasking)
• App folders (to organise the apps on your iPhone’s ‘desktop’)
• Enhanced Mail app
• iBooks (the same as the iPad, with a free copy of Winnie the Pooh!)
• Enterprise support (encrypting emails and other dull stuff)
• Game Center (online game matchmaking and achievements like Xbox Live)
• iAds (adverts in your iPhone apps. Yep. Seriously)

The new OS is due to be released on the iPhone and iPod Touch this summer, with an iPad version following in autumn. Colour us underwhelmed.
