In 2007, Jobs introduced the iPhone brand EDGE next to a proprietary operating system. Together they star the most amazing sales climbing in recent times, making this gadget in all technological and social revolution for the masses, which were launched in an avalanche while supplies last. With minor modifications, the operating system has been maintained so far with very good reviews as to its reliability, ease of use and performance. However, computing is advancing at a frenzied pace, requiring new functionalities to devices that can not wait long before becoming obsolete. Apple is the current technology and ignores requests from its users, asking him significant improvements in some specific sections.
The appearance of APP Store provoked a turning point on the needs of implementing the improvements, since the Apple store songs had unusual success, selling millions of files to users who were in this medium the perfect complement for your iPhone . In addition, Steve Jobs launched another great and unexpected success that many were dead before leaving, but nevertheless, corresponded to the expectations of the owner of Apple. We speak of IPAD. If we add another appliance sales leader brand apple, iPod, get a clear picture of the needs to standardize the operating system to accommodate all these devices and those who come in the future. If you look, no longer called iPhone OS, but simply IOS, no mention of the device.
As the most important examples of the improvements, we have the multitasking, unified inbox and the organization of applications into folders, and that seemed essential at this stage of combat. Apple has not hesitated to implement these options in its new operating system and promised that existing devices can upgrade the software without any restrictions. 4 The iPhone and the iPhone 3G will work fine for this. IPAD, when the update comes out in September, either. The EDGE iPhone, but will not be possible to update and the iPhone 3G may, but will not enjoy multitasking for instance (although I fear that we will see things that might be added in the iPhone). As for the iPod touch, the first generation will miss the update, while the second generation (2008) will not multitask, or customizable backgrounds, no bluetooth keyboard support. Only in the third-generation iPod touch (late 2009) will use these developments.
Multitasking was an overriding requirement that Apple has introduced a bit later. Fortunately, the delay has been compensated with improved ease of use than its competitors. The intuitive so that has to change from one program to another is the house brand. Also, do not assume the battery and allows us to make real juggling options to be active at a time.
Double-clicking the home button, we will open the bar background applications, choosing which we want and to change it with startling speed. We can close applications and those that are running in the background, save its state in memory so that when we recover reopened at the exact spot where we had left. Obviously, now we can receive notification of incoming messages in Twitter, IM Apps, listen to streaming music or take calls over VoIP.
Until now, searches for any type of files on the system using Spotlight. IOS 4 may be used also to search the Internet, choosing Bing main driver in this task. You can use alternatives, but Apple claims that Microsoft is doing a good job with this search engine and that’s why we include the preferred option to users.
With regard to the facilities offered to order the huge number of files coming from APP store, IOS 4 also provides interesting things. Although version 3.0 of the OS is possible to order the different screens from within the iTunes placing applications the way we would be more comfortable, now we can group them by functionality. As simple as maintaining an application down for a second that this begins to vibrate and drag over another to create a folder. We can then drag applications within this folder to gather those who have a common theme. The new iTunes 9.2 We will manage the folders so that when you sync the phone are perfectly ordered.
Apart from these flashy new features, Apple announced more than a hundred new additions to the system. We will have to unify in Mail trays, character counter for SMS sending not to go, we Faces and Places in our photo album from iPhoto with what we manage all this information and even allow developers access to sections of system such as Quicklook or Calendars. Small things that make life easier by bringing the latest IOS 4, the fulfilled dream of many users who have been clamoring for some time.
