Anyway, as promised, here are several videos found in Youtube demonstrating some of the new features on iPhone OS 4.0

iPhone OS 4.0 Beta is already leaked and in order to get it installed on your device, you need an Apple Developer account. There's a catch though. You can't simply sign up the developer account; you are required to pay USD 99. I don't think it's worth to pay that much for the sake of trying iPhone OS 4.0 Beta which will eventually come out around this summer. Fortunately, there is away to get around this problem (install iPhone 4.0 beta without UDID registration), thanks to ih8sn0w.

1. Decrypt your firmware files and get the rootfs.dmg file.
2. Open the rootfs.dmg file within the IPSW file.
3. Then navigate to System/Library/CoreServices and copy over SystemVersion.plist
4. Now open SystemVersion.plist
5. Remove the following two lines from it
ReleaseType
Beta
6. Add it back into the rootfs.dmg file, overwriting the old SystemVersion.plist.
7. Now restore the new IPSW file to your device.

As we already know, iPhone OS 4.0 is not going to be available until this summer (June) and iPad is only going to get this upgrade this fall. What is shown at Apple's special event recently is only meant for developers and not for normal users. It's just a couple of months away but bear in mind there is a long list of new exciting features in this upgrade.

Some people can hardly resist to get their hands dirty playing with these new features in iPhone OS 4.0 Beta and badly hope they could get an earlier copy of it.

Here is a good news for you. iModZone is very generous to share the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta Firmware for iPhone 3GS & 3G and iPod Touch 2G & 3G.

iPhone OS 4 comes with massive new features and it's definitely a great news to some Apple fans. Some? Yup, not all users will enjoy the full features of the latest iPhone OS 4.0. iPod Touch 2G wouldn't have a chance to get the most standout feature, multi-tasking. More surprisingly, iPhone 3G that is still on sale worldwide is having the same fate as the iPod Touch 2G.

It seems Apple is giving people a good reason why they should switch to a brand new iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3G but having iPhone 3G discriminated from getting iPhone OS 4.0 full upgrade is an awkward move by Apple; at least from users' eyes. Apple might have a different opinion. The iPhone 3G is already old with processor and RAM are at half capacity of iPhone 3GS. Apple will definitely not want to risk having sluggish performance on its products.

Biggest rumor of all and let's hope this feature is on iPhone OS 4.0.

Perhaps in a generation or two, the iPad will become popular as the the iPod Touch tried to be. It is definitely interesting to see how the consumers response to the iPad in the market and how they adopt it in their daily normal lives. Only time will tell.
