Report: Rumors Were Right! iPhone OS 4.0 Will Include Full Multitasking Support

[Rcooley617]

makes u wonder---some say apple catching up to the jailbreaker hmmm....Or mayb its a move by us on the hype of forcing a jailbreak, & making apple unwilling to release the new firmware....Cause I'm pretty sure that if it was up to them, & if we didn't have jailbreaking we wouldn't be on 4.0 in the "iPhone Era"

Clever Apple : - lock down a crippled OS, in the certain knowledge that devs will unlock it and save them the huge costs of developing and testing in-house.

And since the out-sourced development is 'unauthorised/uncopyrighted', it's all freely available to be pirated.

Steve Jobs : - surely the sassiest digital pirate of all time ?

So, again Messany - strip this article down to the facts and it's based upon nothing more than analysts views, opinions and 'inside knowledge' - NO FACTS HERE

i can't see multitasking happening with the iPhone 2G and 3G

I agree. there isn't enough memory in these devices to have full multitasking. I am 100% happy with my iphone. Thanks to Jailbreak I am only limited by speed and memory. I can really only background two apps at a time and still have to be selective when I do that. What Apple needs to do is up the memory and processor speed of these devices then it really wouldn't matter.

If last year is anything to go by it will be announced and the first beta will be released to developers, then a new beta every couple of weeks until the new iPhone is officially announced in June/July when the FW is released to the public.

That means we might not see a jailkreak for the ipad or iphone until OS 4.0 comes out. I wonder will they anounce the release date also......

Will the new firmware be jailbreakable? As long as we have a jailbreakable phone atm we should be fine to upgrade to this newest software correct?

Never update until you here it's safe to do so!

[wolverinemarky]

does anyone have a link for where we can watch or listen to the press conference yet

[iLaw-One]

can't wait...finally all the haters and nay sayers can finally zip it!

[Bunniesandsheep]

I'm really not excited. After all, I've had multitasking for ages.
