great job apple, can't wait for this]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/
UGH! No Multiple User support. What a letdown. While not important to the iPhone, this is a must have feature for the iPad. You simply cannot share the device with anyone without Multiple User support, otherwise everyone would share the same email, bookmarks, music, movies, apps, and other files. Makes it hard to let friends use it when the visit it your home, let alone take it on a vacation for the family to use. I would like my wife to be able to log in with her own files, apps, and settings. Obviously the same goes for my kids. Come on Apple!]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/ any OS version apple pumps out

One thing, without a notification bar like android, is there a way to share app state (a music player is playing, or a file is being downloaded in the background) without manual intervention by the user (such as double tapping home)?]]>Apr 8th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/
Meh, I've used Android and it just seemed like a less polished attempt at reproducing what I have on my iPhone. I'm sure others' experience is different, but after using Android for a little while, it felt great to get back to the feel of my iPhone. ]]>Apr 8th 2010 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/"Q: How do you close applications when multitasking? A: (Scott) You don't have to. The user just uses things and doesn't ever have to worry about it. (Steve) It's like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it. In multitasking, if you see a task manager... they blew it. Users shouldn't ever have to think about it."

If that does not sound like WP7 than stop me now. Neither have task managers, both have stop and resume functions, both can run stuff on the background while the front end is paused on certain apps. (WP7 can do this contrary to what you said, two quick example is loading sites on the background or listening to music)

This isnt the true multitasking us geeks have been waiting for...]]>Apr 8th 2010 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/

That would be a good idea for the iPad, seeing how computers allow it, but I think apple wants individuals to just go out and get an iPad for themselves instead of sharing one device. I honestly don't see it being added as a function until Apple is comfortable enough with their iPad market saturation to let people start sharing..]]>Apr 8th 2010 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/

Pandora on WP7 will stop playing when you switch to a different app. In the past iPhone would do, now it doesn't.

That is what people mean by multitasking.

@tbonez I can see the need for it (on the iPod Touch XL at least), but Apple wants EVERYONE in your family to have ONE iPhone/iPod Touch XL per person. Multi-users isn't even supported in Android, WinMob, or WebOS. Something that mobile is targeted at being single user oriented, so it's not needed on phones or small devices (PMPs and such). But until they add multi-user support to the iPod Touch XL, quit emailing your girlfriends or just check your email on your iPhone, or whatever you are using, or just quit doing things that you have to hide. As for the kids, I'd just get them an Archos 5 and load it up with a bunch of movies and music, then just kick back, it'll save you from a shattered 9.whatever inch screen and headaches later on.]]>Apr 11th 2010 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/Apr 11th 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/Apr 13th 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/iphone-os-4-0-unveiled-shipping-this-summer/
I can give you every reason in the world to jailbreak iPhone OS 4.0.
The stuff you can do by jail-breaking, even compared to 4.0, is way out of Apple's vision still. Video wallpaper, video ringtones, themes (with different icons, docks, etc.), SBsettings (which is THE most vaulable feature in jailbreaking I believe. Look up SBsettings if you don't already know what it does. It is outstanding.
