I was getting worried that we weren't going to be seeing it for a while.

This is a great month to be an Apple user.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Apr 5th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/
I wonder what they can add...

All I can think of is MULTITASKING]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/

YIPEEEEEE!]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Widescreen support (854x480 (FWVGA) preferably, though 800x480 will do too).
Multitasking would be great too, these two things are what's keeping me from buying an iPhone.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Apr 5th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/
I'm hoping for "limited" multi-tasking, like 3 processes at a time. Give people more and they'll kill the battery and then try to blame Apple for it.

I would also like to see a better notification system, dashboard widgets, and maybe a nicely integrated game network (a la Xbox Live), but I'll settle for limited multi-tasking.

Also, I don't think you'll see a native Microsoft Xbox live app on an Apple platform, sorry.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Apr 5th 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Apr 5th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/
I didn't say I wanted a native Xbox Live app, that would be stupid. I want something LIKE Xbox Live, but made by Apple. There are already services like Plus, but I would rather it be something officially supported by Apple.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/It's gonna be 4:3. iPad is 4:3 too. iMacs are different story.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Apr 5th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/

@Peter Church I don't think "a sneak peek" means we'll be GETTING iPhone OS 4.

Definitely exciting news but I hope Apple drops something worthwhile *cough multi-tasking cough*.

On a side note, I think MS will be closely watching this event to determine how far behind Windows Phone7 will be from iPhone. Which can't be a bad thing since this could force MS to speed up development/release of additional features before holiday2010 release. Go competition!!]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/
Curious though: if the iPad runs on iPhone OS then this announcement will have an effect on that too right?]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Apr 5th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/

Don't know what everyone wants with 16:9 or better 21:9, especially on notebooks. How often do you watch movies on the iPhone, the iPad or a Notebook? I think 4:3 is a good format for internet devices, you get more informations, and on "real" computers is the 4:3 perfect (using Photoshop, editing music with Cubase etc.).

Yeah, they'll show iPhone OS 4.0 *yehaa*, but I think the next two months until the iPhone launch in June there'll be no iPhone OS 4 for non - developers... ]]>Apr 5th 2010 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/Apr 5th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/apple-holding-iphone-os-4-event-april-8th/
