Apple unveil iPhone OS 4.0 April 8

After the first weekend of the iPad marketing, Apple has sent an invitation Monday to the American press for an event dedicated to the fourth version of the operating system that equips its mobile devices. The presentation of this "iPhone OS 4.0" will take place Thursday, April 8, around 18 hours, Paris time.

If the invitation sent no doubt about the nature of the event in Cupertino, Apple has so far leaked any information on the new developments that could emerge in this update.

Among the ads possible, we of course think of introducing a comprehensive multitasking third party applications available through the App Store, without knowing whether it would be really possible to run simultaneously several software packages, or just a better system of notifications that partially compensates for his absence today.

Some also expect easy management of installed applications from the App Store, with the multiplication on the home screen sometimes discourages some users to get new ones installed. This famous home screen, the springboard, could also known its share of changes, why not with the possibility of moving the display from portrait to landscape on the iPhone and iPod Touch, as it is already possible to do with the iPad.

Some also assume that Apple could use the event to unveil to the press the fourth-generation iPhone, so as to prepare an official launch which occurs in early summer, one year after the arrival of the iPhone 3GS. Finally, we attribute to the Cupertino company's intention to reveal the contents of his ambitions for online advertising, with a monetization platform called iad .
