iOS 4.0: Full Details

2010-04-08
hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with the full rundown of the iPhone OS 4.0 event it just finished up literally guys less than five minutes ago so I'm gonna go ahead and run you guys through everything we know guys I'm excited this so much new stuff has come out multitasking really cool basically Xbox Live some really interesting ads that actually look like basically apps I mean guys lahter a lot of really cool in this stuff also a little bit of bad news too but I'll go ahead and get all that in just a second anyway let's get this one started okay guys so excuse me like I said just finished up just like no more than a couple nights ago so I'll get my computer here but let's go ahead and go over the number one thing that I was definitely looking for which is multitasking he goes excellent basically multi testing works in a lot of different ways depending on what app you want it's not going to be the standard multitasking or basically just back runs there's lots of different kinds of multitasking for example like Pandora uses a multitasking that uses just music so basically it just lets you string the audio the app itself really isn't running but the audio that the app would use is there's also a lot of different ones like GPS apps canal you know like wizard let's say you you know you have your iPhone in the car and you're driving the GPS can be running in the background and basically just say turn left or whatever but you can still be doing other things and then there it is of course just straight up full multi tasking which allows the app to be fully running but they weren't quite clear which app can and can't do that so but it looks very very good when you do that multi tasking a small dock comes up from the bottom and each icon is of what games you're running so it really really looks solid the next thing is actually fast app switching which is sort of in with the multitasking but not really basically it allows an app let's say you're playing a game which is using up most of the iPhone or iPod Touches memory well it can't be backgrounded but it can basically put like a bookmark where it is you exit out of it and it still shows there and then when you come back to it very very quickly it comes right back to where it was it's not full multitasking but for games that really leverage the full Hardware of the iPhone or iPod Touch it's a really good idea now the next one is a few smaller things that I'll go ahead and cover them real quickly iBooks is coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch okay so that's nothing amazing basically just like iBooks on iPad but it's not too bad okay so the next thing is something actually could nobody really expected but basically now there are folders in the iPhone OS no not folders like you would think folders for your apps basically what you do is on your home screen but basically let's say you want to make a folder when you take one of your apps and you push it on top of the other it drops in a folder screen and then you can drop as many different apps as you want in there and then basically it will actually have the app icon will actually have the like thumbnails of the apps that are inside of it and the thumbnail doesn't look amazing and unfortunately if you've been jailbroken you've had something kind of similar before it does look pretty nice and definitely looks really well implemented all you have to do is click it and then a drop down menu comes up and then you can look in and see all the apps click it it opens up pretty cool while we're on the subject of the homescreen let's go ahead and talk about something that most people expected now you can change the wallpaper or if we saw this on the iPad and this is probably the number one thing that makes people jailbreak but now you have full control over what kind of background you want on your home screen cause it's not still not as good as you know actually making custom icons everything like on little bored with your jailbroken it's still a pretty nice touch okay so the next feature is the mail app it's been redesigned and with some pretty cool features the most important thing definitely is that it's unified so all your mail accounts all go into a single mail as well as you have additional exchange support and a lot of other really cool things that people have been waiting for personally I mean this to me it still it's the same and I'm not gonna really use it that much I don't exactly have a lot of email accounts or anything but a lot of people do and that's gonna be very helpful so now guys this is probably one of actually the surprising things that were the biggest basically there is now going to be a game center there the game center something up basically it's like Xbox Live the iPhone you have its full multi players so all your games can be hooked up into multiplayer you can join lobbies you can text to friends you can get achievements it really looks solid now we haven't tried this out yet of obviously but from the demo it looks really really cool and I can't wait till games start implementing achievements and everything in there and I don't know what they're gonna call achievement points play something cool by that it looks really really solid well the guys so down to the last couple things one kind of nice thing is that the iPhone OS 4.0 now supports bluetooth now it only supports the Bisons who had that have Bluetooth which is like the iPod Touch 3rd generation second generation iPhone 3GS you know the ones that have bluetooth but now you can hook up a Bluetooth keyboard very similarly to how you do it with the iPad type away works great now the last major feature is I add terrible name I I doesn't go on top of everything but I add actually there's a really cool concept basically Apple is running their own advertising and basically you can really for all intents and purposes create an app so like let's say you're browsing on like an app or something in the app and you see the ad when you click it it basically launches a full app I mean you can go ahead and go watch videos of like say exactly showed boy store in Nike and several others but like the toy store going with my favorite so basically inside that is really interesting I mean you can go watch videos you can like download lock up the home screen love background you can go even like show like download the toy store apps if you like like hit it and they'll open like a list of theaters around your area I mean it's really really cool and the thing is I mean it's just an ad it looks like a really like in-depth like app but it's actually an ad so I mean I think this looks really cool and it's as much as it looks like an app everything it is of course just totally strained it's not actually downloading or anything you just click on it and everything pops up of course if you're on maybe a slower connection I don't know only they're going to be how it's gonna work it's might get slow or whatever but of course you know we don't know everything yet but actually I'm surprised I add looks really cool I mean you know I'll actually would like probably want to click on ass to see that kind of stuff I mean it's a full deal now we get to the sort of bad side iPhone OS 4.0 is going to be fully supported on the iPod Touch 3rd generation and the iPod and iPhone 3GS so they will get a multitasking they will get everything unfortunately if you have an iPhone 3G or an iPod Touch 2nd generation you do get a lot of the features in 4.0 but you do not get multitasking along with some other unspecified features we don't know I know what that means so that's a real big downside if you have an iPhone 3G an iPod Touch 2nd generation you can go ahead and update to 4.0 but you're not going to get a lot of the really cool features like multitasking so that's that's that's kind of bad I'm gonna get worse a lot of people expected it but the iPod Touch first generation and iPhone 2g or the original iPhone neither of them are compatible with 4.0 so you know until whatever you're on are now 3.0 or 3.1 or whatever you are on that's about the end of the line unfortunately so today night guys on the whole of it I'm really excited about iPhone OS 4.0 I'm kind of pointed I can't update my iPod touch to it or at least what for with full multitasking but still it really really looks solid and I'm looking forward to really using it out Developer Preview shipped today sometime I'm not sure they might be out already or they might come in later in the day and they say this summer it will be I phone the West will be downloadable for everybody who's not a developer also iPhone OS 4.0 they really didn't actually get into it about the iPad this was all focused on the iPhone and iPod Touch they did say that iPhone OS 4.0 is coming to the iPad this fall and so we can expect you multitasking everything like that to come this fall but they didn't actually get into specific section never really show the iPad so we don't know if maybe it gets more features maybe it's less we really don't know anyway guys that is my full wrap-up of the iPhone OS 4.0 event real excited it looks fantastic and yeah anyway guys if you have any questions leave them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them anyway thanks for watching
