iPhone OS 4 looks fantastic....for 1999!


Looks like Steve Jobs is finally updating the iPhone OS to the year 2000. With the new OS 4, we finally get some integral features that my 2004 HP iPaq running windows mobile 5 had. Check out these fantastic "new" features!

1. multitasking - finally, but no task manager, since Jobs doesn't believe in them
2. background music such as pandora - wow! now he can listen to music as does his laundry in the town river.
3. app folders for sorting apps! - oh my god, a little bit of customization, although, to be honest, this is technically the minimum required to say something is customizable.

Basically, with the exception of multitasking, which is not true multitasking since like Windows 7 it saves the program in an off memory state and resumes when you go back to it, iPhone OS 4 now allows you to do what my Palm Pilot did in 1998.

Keep coming with the breakthroughs Mr. Job...welcome to the early years of the 21st century!
