Things I like about the iPhone OS 4 [4 comments]

Posted in Tech.

Coming Summer 2010 is the new iPhone OS 4!

This system has some pretty cool features, some of which I’m really looking forward to trying for myself when it comes out! (*Nudge!* I’ve officially decided to dive into the Smartphone pool and buy an iPhone!)

First things first, MULTITASKING!

Holy Slackersville, finally! (Sadly that’s not a real town.. I checked.)
Steve Jobs addressed this addition by saying “Now we weren’t the first to this party, but we’re gonna be the best!” (Steve Jobs obviously is big on parties!)

The multitasking platform will look like this: (Photos via Engaget’s liveblog)

Pretty non informative. I’ll wait to see a video before giving my say on the matter.

Also something huge to look forward to is Game Center! Game Center sounds a lot like Xbox live in the sense that it will have a friend network with achievements, interactive gameplay and leaderboards!

Now, about my decision to purchase an iPhone..

I’ve been an old skool kid. I’ve never had a cellphone with any data plan or had any form of mobile internet ever. Heck, I just got my first iPod last Christmas! I’d say that I’m definitely behind the times and the only thing I like about my Blackberry Pearl 8100 is the R2D2 sticker I put on the back of it.

Now with Game Center and Multitasking finally available to the iPhone, I’m excited to finally be “in” with all the cools kids and their smart phones soon! Now I’ll just need some recommendations on what apps & games I should get!

    Plants vs. Zombies is the best game on the iPhone. Tweetie 2 is an amazing Twitter app. Wolfram Alpha for all your nerdy computational inquiries.

    Thanks! I forgot to add, you can grab free iPhone games via freeappaday.com. And if you’re planning to grab the iPad, whether soon or later, you can also get links to free apps over at Gizmodo, gizmodo.com/tag/hobomodo.
