Apple now accepting iOS 4 apps, multitasking ahoy
Although we’ve been running iPhone OS 4 — now known as iOS 4 — since it was first announced in April , we actually haven’t been able to try out any of the fancy new multitasking features, since no third party apps have been released with support yet. That’s all about to change: as of today, Apple is accepting iOS 4 apps, which means we should see quite a few apps that take advantage of multitasking on the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 , as well as make use of the 1500 other new APIs in the system when it launches on June 21 . That’s definitely good news, but we’ve got a feeling Apple’s unique take on iPhone multitasking will take a few people by surprise, as only certain tasks are allowed in the background — and apps that need to run persistently, like IRC and IM clients, still won’t really work at all.
