Thanks for the 2 videos!
I just can’t wait for the update to be released!!!
I have two questions, it would be great if you could help me out.
The first one is about the new multitasking feature. What I’d like to know is: When you for example play a game and than leave it by pressing the home button and go to another app and than double klick the home button and go back to the game, it will resume right from where you left it, right?
But what happens if you quit the game and than start it again from the homescreen like you normally would. Will this also resume the game from where you left it of or will this restart the game like on OS 3?

Secound question:
How is the performance of the Beta compared to OS 3.1.3?
Does it feel snappy when you use it? Does it crash a lot?

Thank you so much in advantage!
Luca

Michael, in case you haven’t figured it out yet. The reason developers need to modify their apps to support multitasking is to preserve battery life. It’s the whole reason Apple pretty much redefined multitasking with iPhone OS 4.0.

Without the special API’s for multitasking apps could multitask just like OS X. However, your battery wouldn’t last but maybe an hour. Apple doesn’t want this and neither do I.

I know someone who has jailbroken his phone and he reports that battery life is all but nonexistent with Pro Switcher multitasking is iPhone.

If you watched the presentation Apple did for the new OS, you would have seen exactly why the API’s are so important. Maybe you should go download the video on iTunes and check it out.

[...] and the new Game Center. This video, though light on depth, will give you an idea on how these features work in practice. I know one feature that I would like to see has not yet been addressed: the ability to rename Bluetooth devices. I use three Griffin BlueTrip Bluetooth receivers at home and when looking at the Bluetooth devices in the current version of the iPhone OS, all three come up with the same name and can’t be changed. I’d like the ability to rename Bluetooth devices so I can get a handle on which BlueTrip is which. It’s a minor point, but one that would make life quite a bit easier for me. I’m sure that this feature getting into OS 4.0 is about as likely as my winning the lottery, but if anyone from Apple is reading this… What features did you see that were left out of OS 4.0 and would mean the world to you?TUAWiPhone 4.0 beta walkthrough video in English originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 11 Apr 2010 18:30:00 EST.

Who do you actualy have access to the BETA of OS 4 software and I dont have. Explain me Michael!

@botsisanargyros: He paid the $99 to get into the iPhone developer program. That it. Paying members of the iPhone developer program have access to the SDK as well as the actual OS that they can install on a device for testing.

Michael, thanks for your review. I’m looking forward to upgrading my 3GS as soon as it’s out.

One other thing, what type of case do you use on your phone?

Thanks
Michael

In relation to os4.0, things that i’d like to see would be, the ability to delete any icon e.g stocks, and to be able to block phone numbers in your contacts or recents numbers.
