With the launch of the new iPhone 4.0 Operating System (OS) scheduled for release, there is already excited speculation. IPhone manufacturer, Apple, is keeping tight-lipped about many of the alleged new features and has only gone into detail about a few, but they have claimed recently that the new 4.0 version will contain over 100 new end-user features. So what are these new features that Apple has disclosed?<\/p>\n

\nThis will not come as a shock, but Apple has boldly claimed that this new upgrade will be a big deal. A few months before the proposed release, it is time to bash the promotion drum and start dangling the carrot.<\/p>\n

Apple is stating that the new 4.0 OS will offer more that 1500 new APIs for developers. The most interesting of these seems to be a new ability from the iPhone 4.0, for some apps to allow multitasking \u2013 albeit for specific purposes.<\/p>\n

Double-tapping the home button on the iPhone 4.0 will bring up an application switching tray. This tray shows active programs \u2013 like a dock for multitasking applications.<\/p>\n

So you can now switch quickly between apps and not have to close one first, before opening another. The old app is simply suspended and waits silently in the background, ready to be used again. It is essentially frozen and therefore does not consume any valuable CPU power.<\/p>\n
