updates coming for the iPhone (and iPod Touch)

Apple has announced a new operating system...or "update", if you will...to the iPhone and iPod Touch. It will not work with ALL models of iPhones and the iPod Touch.

"iPhone OS 4 will ship this summer for iPhone and iPod touch, and for iPad in the fall...

"...New features include the following:

"Multitasking...you’ll be able to make a Voice over IP call while playing a game or checking email, find a restaurant on Urbanspoon while listening to Pandora, and more.

"Folders...Organize apps into folders with drag-and-drop simplicity...

"See messages from all your email accounts displayed together in a unified inbox, switch between inboxes more quickly, organize messages by threads, and even open attachments in third-party apps.

(COMPATIBILITY)

"iPhone OS 4 will work with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the second- and third-generation iPod touch this summer, and with iPad in the fall. Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking is available only with iPhone 3GS and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009)."
