Apple announced a new version of mobile operating system iPhone OS 4 almost two weeks ago. Mobile apps developers state that iPhone OS 4 has about a hundred innovations. Let us consider the most significant of them.
First, we should mention long-awaited multitasking. However, it can be used only in iPad, iPod Touch, and the third-generation iPhone 3GS. Of course, companies that specialize in iPad apps developments will appreciate this innovation. But hardware of old devices, according to Steve Jobs’ words, cannot provide this feature.

In addition, the new OS 4 have introduced several additional services: a game center, iAd and iBooks. Game Center is a social network that will unite all who like multiplayer games. The next in the list is iAd, it’s an advertising service, through which developers of free mobile software will be able to receive additional benefits displaying advertisements.

Moreover, we would like to mention such features as possibility to create folders in user menu, to set custom wallpaper as background and additional features for text formatting.

iPhone OS 4 will be available for download this summer, when the next generation iPhone is released.
