If you have a hankering for seeing some multitasking in action on the iPhone, or maybe the implementation of folders, enhanced email, iBooks or any of the other features announced yesterday during Apple’s iPhone 4.0 keynote, well now you can. This may be more agony than anything else, considering that, unless you’re a developer, its not for you until this summer. Watch the entire presentation here.
Today’s the big day for iPhone fans in what has been an uncharacteristically vocal week from Cupertino. Obviously Apple’s media event to unveil their roadmap for iPhone 4.0 is invitation only however the GU team will be here with its very best copy-and-paste skills to bring you all the news as it happens.
Multitasking, exposé, redesigned home screen? Who knows. Its unlikely we’ll here any new hardware announcements today but we can only hope.
