Thoughts on iOS 4

Hey there everyone!

Back at it blogging again, been a busy year. I am a registered Apple Developer so I received the iOS 4 (new iPhone OS for 2010) about 2 weeks ago. Some new features are great, however some are still quirky. Here are a few things that I thought were an improvement:

-Backgrounds on homescreen (not a big “feature” but does add ability to customize)
-Multitasking
-Unified inboxes (great because I have 5 email accounts)
-Faster
-Better battery life (in my experience vs OS 3.1.3 on a 32GB iPhone 3Gs)
-Safari more stable

Here are the things I did not enjoy:

-Multitasking is great, but if you have numerous apps on your iPhone, after using it for a day, one must open the multitasking “dock” and end all apps that were previously opened. Some may not think its annoying, but I do.
-A bug in the Messaging app that doesn’t allow you to back out of a conversation, so one must manual force shut down the app. This only happened to me once.

-That is it so far for the negatives!

Video overview of iOS 4 is coming up in the next day or two. Definitely before Thursday. Feel free to EMAIL me with your questions at peltzt@att.net
