iOS 4

By Timothy R. Butler | Posted at 0:45:37

I was able to grab iOS 4 for my iPhone 3GS minutes after it became available today. I have not had much time to play with it, but so far it feels like a really nice upgrade from iPhone OS 3.1. I really like being able to group apps into folders and I have been wanting a unified inbox on my phone since my first iPhone in 2007.

Time will tell if the “multitasking” support makes the phone feel more responsive, but so far, so good. My phone may be a year old, but it feels fresher with this new software. I am reminded of what a nice trend Apple has going with free upgrades for existing phones. Bear in mind that upgrading phone OS versions has never been a given in the past, and continues to be hit or miss on Android.

Now I just keep thinking of what iOS 4 will bring to the iPad when it appears later this year. At the least, the items that have appeared already on the iPhone will be much appreciated.

I just like that my wallpaper shows up on more than the unlock screen. That alone makes me happy.

It is nice. And I was surprised how good my current wallpaper looked in the new setting.

The “folders” are really nifty! I've got access to everything from one screen, now.
