iPhone OS 4.0: All the New Features
Hello 4.0! This is going to be a great release. I’m very excited about the Mail improvements. A unified inbox is going to save me so much button pushing, and multiple Exchange accounts will get Google Sync back in action. We’re even going to have multitasking! Everything is wonderful right? Right??
Well, almost. I think that the glaring omission from today’s event was an update to how notifications are displayed. It looks like the ridiculous modal alert boxes are here to stay for now at least. This is incredibly disappointing. After my wonderful experience with WebOS notifications, I was really, really hoping that Apple would do something similar. My hopes have been dashed. I guess there’s always next year.
