iPhone OS 4.0 Event- Multitasking, iBooks, Gamecenter confirmed etc vol. APPLE LATE PASS!

If 4.0 and the next iPhone aren't a HUGE upgrade then I'm moving to Sprint and getting the HTC Evo. Better phone and WAY better monthly plan.

Not really.  As a developer you are only required to support your product for 2-3 years.  2G will be over 3 years old this summer.

I'm excited about 4.0, but like someone said on the first page...I couldn't wait for 3.0 and really haven't used the features from it. I never do anything in landscape...EVER.
Really? I do most of my texting/mobile browsing/twittering in landscape, and that's 75% of my total usage right there

Copy/Cut/Paste, landscape mode in prety much any standard app, MMS, Spotlight, Voice Memos and a better calendar
 
man this was a disappointment

but anyways, the new Iphone WILL DEFINITELY get new features


last year at the 3.0 event, they didnt announce the compass because it was only available for the new iphone

however that was a lame addition, hopefully something comes next year


and yeah, apple is late again 2 years in a row with copy/paste and now multitasking, but although all those other mobile phones had it YEARS and i mean YEARS before, it seems like apple does it right, their copy/paste is the best ive ever used, and im currently on android n1, it sucks to copy/paste

hopefully we can see the same wiht multitask

Biggest features were cut, copy, pasting, and MMS messaging.


I'm excited for all these new features, especially the Multitasking and Folders.

That's what Apple does, and Steve mentioned that in the conference.

He admitted they are late on a few things, but when they do release it.. it is the BEST to ever hit the market.

They aim for perfection in everything they do, which is why they are so successfully despite being "late" in features.
 
Q: I asked whether Apple will enable unsigned applications like Android and Palm OS.
A: Steve: There’s a porn store for Android… you can download it, your kids can download it. That’s a place we don’t want to go, so we’re not going to.

It's not true multitasking, which is a good thing for a majority of users who don't need complete control over what's running.

3GS and future models are the only eligible ones.

Anyone who got the 3G when it first released or still rock with an EDGE model would be due for an upgrade around summertime so if y'all are really feeling left out you got options.

All I wanna know is what the new combination for the ipod controls will be.

If it is double clicking... won't it intefere with multitasking? Or is double clicking on Pandora only available on a lock screen?
 
i think you have to have pandora running in the background first to be able to use it in the locks creen
 
Meh. 

As sweet as the iPhone is, I get tired of Apple showing up late to the party and then having the general public declare what they do as innovative.  Like most of these features have been standard on smartphones for awhile now.  Multitasking?  App folders?  Big deal.

Bottom line is that while Apple products are good, they've managed to secure a consumer base through marketing that will revel and "ooh and ahh" at anything they put out and declare as "new".  You gotta give Jobs props for that.  It reminds me of Nike and all their gimmicks over the years--Shox, Flywire, etc.  None of that crap really works, but the marketing and thought of it appeals to people so it sells.

You're scoffing at what the majority of naysayers and people against buying an iphone have been complaining about for awhile now so....yeah. It is kind of a big deal.

I still want a WP7 handset though.

The zune-like interface is slick and smooth.

Apple doesn't bring out features until they're perfect. So, I really don't care how slow they are compared to others. Like... Windows been had multi-task, but i'm not running out to get a windows mobile phone.
