According to the sources, iPhone firmware 4.0 will bring multitasking to the platform this summer. AppleInsider mention in there blog, people familiar with Apple’s plans have confirmed that iPhone OS 4.0 will include multitasking. Its sources claim that Apple has developed a complete solution that will allow the iPhone to run more than one program at a time, though specifics of how the technology works weren’t shared.
The iPhone OS already supports preemptive multitasking, but Apple has restricted its use to only its own services, like the phone, SMS and iPod. This explains how users are able to talk on the phone or listen to music while they surf in Safari, but can’t run a third-party app like Pandora to pull down tunes at the same time.
Which features would you like to see on the iPhone 4.0? Sound off in the comments.
I believe this one feature should be from the first version.. Though I hope its not a rumor..
Just give me the capability to change the sound that is played upon receiving a new email and I’ll die happy…
