We&#8217;ll know soon enough what it will include, but that won&#8217;t stop me from making my own wishlist for what we&#8217;ll see on Thursday. Here are a few items on that list:<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-43681\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/topic\/iphone\" title=\"iPhone\">iPhone<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/2010\/04\/06\/how-i-migrated-my-mac-life-into-the-cloud\/\">How I Migrated My Mac Life Into the&nbsp;Cloud<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon apple-blog\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\" title=\"Visit: The Apple Blog - This is a description.\">Mac Love<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/2010\/04\/05\/iphone-os-4-event-announced\/\">iPhone OS 4 Event&nbsp;Announced<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon apple-blog\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\" title=\"Visit: The Apple Blog - This is a description.\">Mac Love<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/2010\/04\/05\/i-took-it-off-and-i-feel-fine\/\">I Took It Off and I Feel&nbsp;Fine<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon apple-blog\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\" title=\"Visit: The Apple Blog - This is a description.\">Mac Love<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/2010\/03\/31\/iphone-development-alternatives-code-without-objective-c\/\">iPhone Development Alternatives: Code Without&nbsp;Objective-C<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon apple-blog\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\" title=\"Visit: The Apple Blog - This is a description.\">Mac Love<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Speed<\/strong>: Yes, I&#8217;m well aware that the &#8220;S&#8221; in iPhone 3GS is for speed. But I can&#8217;t help compare even the iPhone 3GS to the iPad for sheer perceived speed of the user interface. The iPad is powered by Apple&#8217;s own A4 chip, which accounts for much of the performance improvements, but I&#8217;m also hopeful that the OS has been optimized even further in ways that will be come apparent on Thursday.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multitasking<\/strong>: I&#8217;ve said before that I think <a title=\"Multitasking is Overrated\" href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/2010\/02\/03\/multitasking-is-overrated\/\" >multitasking is overrated<\/a>, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that I don&#8217;t want it. Support at some level for 3rd-party multitasking would be a great feature to have for certain apps, like <a title=\"Pandora Music Discovery\" href=\"http:\/\/pandora.com\" >Pandora<\/a>, which I could then listen to in the background while browsing the web or checking email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AppSwitching<\/strong>: I often switch from one app to another, then switch right back. For example, I might be on a phone call, and need to check my calendar, then return to the phone app. It would be nice if there was a more elegant solution for moving among apps than clicking home, finding the app on one of several screens and launching it. A particular gesture or multiple presses of the home button could activate an app switcher of some sort, like command-tab on the Mac, but for recent, favorite or most-used apps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consolidated Inbox<\/strong>: If you&#8217;re at all like me, you&#8217;ve got several email accounts. Switching between the Inboxes of these accounts is tedious at best. Having a single inbox for all your accounts, as with Mail.app on Mac OS X, would be a huge productivity boost for anyone with several accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, these are all software-related wishlist items. There&#8217;s a slew of potential hardware news to come, such as an A4 chip, high-definition video, and a higher resolution display, all of which seem likely based on the iPad, Android devices and other mobile products. One day and counting: we&#8217;ll know soon enough. What changes to the software do you expect for iPhone OS 4.0?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=theappleblog.com&#038;blog=5550580&#038;post=43681&#038;subd=gigapple&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:guobEISWfyQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=4QcV1Fn6kRg:33P3GBygBrc:guobEISWfyQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/TheAppleBlog\/~4\/4QcV1Fn6kRg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is holding a media event at 10am Pacific time on Thursday, April 6 to discuss the latest release of its mobile OS, which presages new iPhone hardware likely to be released this summer.
