As iOS 4 Lands, Your iPhone Can Finally Multitask

by Thomas Houston on June 21, 2010 at 01:01 PM

iOS 4
iOS 4, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system that was announced back in April, is finally appearing in iTunes. One of the biggest updates yet for Apple, iOS 4 adds multi-tasking, a unified e-mail inbox with message threading, folders for organizing your apps, and the iBooks app. The update also includes a new built-in spell checker, wireless keyboard support, homescreen wallpaper customization, an easier way to create custom playlists in iTunes, and a screen orientation lock. (As with the iPad, it lets you rotate your iPhone without engaging the auto-rotate feature.)

To install, make sure you've got the latest iTunes 9.2 release. Then, plug in your iPhone or iPod touch, back it up (by right-clicking your device in the left rail of iTunes), click 'check for updates,' and sit tight while Apple blesses your magical device with the ability to do more than one thing at once.
