iPhone 4.0 preview event

Sweet! The iPhone and Touch also get to use bluetooth keyboards.

7 "tentpole" features

Multitasking - new APIs for apps to call if they wish to run in the background

* audio - took Pandora 1 day to to change their app for multitasking support

* VOIP - demoed with Skype

* Location - TomTom can give directions while in background. Also a low power "social networking" mode that only triggers location updates when the cell tower changes.

* push notifications (already in the phone)

* local notifications (sounds like scheduling a calendar notification event)

* task completion - allows Flicker to upload in background

* fast app switching - saves app state so it doesn't have to reinit when you go back to it.

folders - can now group apps into folders, folders are automatically made based on category of app

enhanced mail - unified inbox

iBooks on the iPhone

enterprise features

game center - leaderboards, matchmaking for online multiplayer.

iAd - advertising into the OS so developers of free games can make money.

iPhone OS 4.0 will run on iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3rd generations (32/64GB from fall 2009). iPhone 3G and touch 3nd gen will support some, but not all (no multitasking), of the new features.

iPhone/touch get 4.0 this summer, while the iPad gets it in the fall.
