iOS 4 Tour: What to Expect

2010-06-21
what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here in the day a lot of you have been waiting for is finally upon us I OS four point oh previously called iphone OS four is here so I want to give you a walkthrough and reintroduce you to some of the cool new features you're going to be getting on your iphone 3gs iphone 3g ipod touch although on some of those model is not can get all of these features let's go ahead and get started and one of the ones that forever silly reason i was the most excited about is backgrounds you can see I've got a new background gone is the old static black you can now set any image you want as your wallpaper you can either pick different ones for your unlock screen and your background or use the same for both kind of fun although the biggest announcement about iPhone iOS 4.0 or iphone OS 4 is the addition of multitasking which is finally here and it's accessed very simply all you're going to do is double tap your home button and you know get a list of open program you can jump right to any of those any way you choose now Apple and Steve Jobs said they want to eliminate the task manager although you are gonna have to close programs you can keep as many open as you like there really isn't a set limit but you are gonna notice this severe battery drain so if you want to close the program you hold it down it's gonna do a little jiggly dance and you get that familiar sort of red little dash you go ahead and close whatever you would like so you can now run pandora in the background you can run your itunes music in the background you can run a GPS in the background and speaking of music if you are running music and if you go all the way to the left you're going to get a cool little widget here which here let you control your music and also set your rotation lock on the iPad for example you can set it so it won't auto rotate you can do that here as well go ahead and click it and it's going to turn off the accelerometer tap it again gonna turn it back on hit the home button and all of your multitasking options are going to slide right back down the next sort of nice addition we have is something called folders which lets you stack and organize applications by like whatever you would like to do with them you can set up by games or utilities and all you're going to do is just take an iconic a little jiggly dance you're going to drag it right over another icon and it's going to create a folder it's got to automatically name it for you but you can name it whatever you like things Bloomberg my stock management program is a game but I can go ahead and name it whatever you like go ahead and close out of it and if you want to open a folder it's pretty self-explanatory you open it up and there you go if you want to close that folder get rid of it you can just drag the icons right out and that folder just going to have one I come laughing if you go ahead and drag that when I come right out of the folder the folder disappears so the next feature is something a lot of people have been asking for including me and that is threaded emails often times on gmail or my exchange account I'd go back and forth with someone and I'd end up have to go through seven or eight or ten emails if it's great if I could just find one threaded message similar to what you see on the gmail web application so that is finally here here's a message that i had with shawn and go ahead and click through talking about some fathers days posts on technobuffalo and if you look there's a little number right to the right that says three so there are three in that thread I can go ahead and open it up and I can view all the ones that are right there you're also going to get a universal inbox and you're going to get a lot more exchange support including support for multiple exchange accounts so they know it's going to be great for you corporate users also there's a presence of the game center though I'm not so sure how functional is going to be I mean go ahead and play a game online with other people there was one feature they didn Lee gun notice or without much fanfare universal search has been a part of the iphone operating systems in three-point oh but now they added this simple simple ability something that should have been there from day one like most these features the ability to search the web so let's say i wanted to search the web for candy the fields in love candy spelled it wrong jump back candy i can now search the web and i can get my search results i'm taking your rights to online right into google and i can see what I'd like for searching makes a lot of user instead of having open up your browser click in the upper right hand corner tap what you want search just a lot of features that are probably should have been there from day one and this is the operating system update that I think really brings apples platform to competitive parody honest with the others certainly android and on webos have had multitasking me and done it very well and offered a lot of these features that should have been there no reason that changing the background should have been a feature we had to wait for operating systems to get but so it is with apple and those things are finally here so you guys downloading iOS four point oh you happy with the deal like it or you're not happy with are you annoyed with it is
