Apple is not going to stop. Arfter announcing their fabulous iPad, they are going further with iPhone OS 4.0

Just as expected, today Apple has officially introduced iPhone OS 4, which comes with more than 100 new features, some important, others not that important.

But before unveiling iPhone OS 4, Steve Jobs mentioned that there are more than 185,000 apps in App Store, which served more than 4 billion downloads worldwide. He also talked about device sales: more than 50 million iPhones sold and more than 450,000 iPads sold.

OK, so let’s see what iPhone OS 4 has to offer. Perhaps the most important new feature is multitasking – yes, Apple will finally enable multitasking, allowing you to use location-based services, VoIP, social networking and so on, at the same time. Steve Jobs admitted that they weren’t the first to bring multitasking to a smartphone, but he’s confident they’re going to be the best in doing it.

Other new features in iPhone OS 4 include:

Folders – you can create folders that include other icons on the homescreen

Enhanced email, including unified inbox, threaded messaging and multiple Exchange accounts

Game Center, which is some sort of a social gaming network

Enhanced enterprise capabilities

iAd – a new mobile advertising solution. Apple will sell and host the ads, 60% of the revenues go to developers. Ads will “keep you in your app.”

iBooks (already available on the Apple iPad)

Even more new features: tap to focus on video, support for Bluetooth keyboards, 5x digital zoom, geotagging, “gift apps”, spell checker, and the ability to change the homescreen wallpaper.
