The iPhone 4.0 will be multi-tasks
The criticism most commonly made to the iPhone is its inability to handle multi-task. More precisely, the device is capable, but Apple prevents the execution of this feature. Indeed, it is currently not possible to use multiple applications simultaneously, except iPod, mail, SMS and Safari.
This is to preserve the batteries of their aircraft and to make the iPhone a mobile very simple to use (some newcomers have trouble finding it when multiple programs are running in parallel).
The problem is that all competitors to Apple smartphones offer multi-tasking. Recently, Motorola has released comparative advertising between the iPhone and his Droid, attacking on this point.
The developers feel bridled, and users begin to feel cramped for not being able, for example, listen to music by sending an e-mail.
Apple has therefore decided to celebrate the release of the next operating system of the device (the 4.0, due this summer) to open the doors of multi-tasking to its consumers
