BoyGeniusReport (BGR) has received some very important in site on what we might be seeing at Apple’s Event later this month. Rumors have it the the iTablet, iSlate, iPad, or whatever you want to call it are to be shown there. Here is what BGR mentioned on what to see in the iPhone OS (Operating System) 4.0…

  • There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide. (Would make sense for that as the rumored OS for the iTablet is close if not the same as the iPhone)
  • “A few new ways” to run applications in the background — multitasking.
  • Many graphical and UI changes to make navigating through the OS easier and more efficient. We haven’t had this broken down, but we can only hope for improved notifications, a refreshed homescreen, etc.
  • The update will supposedly be available for only the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but will “put them ahead in the smartphone market because it will make them more like full-fledged computers” more than any other phone to date. Everyone is “really excited.”
  • The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.

Knowing Apple, this can not be all they have planned just for the iPhone OS 4.0, but is still a good solid rumor one week before the Event. (January 27, 2010). We will keep you posted as more rumors pour out before the event.
