Wait! On April 8, at 21:00 Moscow time, another presentation from Apple was held, at which Steve Jobs introduced a new version of the iPhone operating system - iPhone OS 4 .
So, while the exact release date of the system is not known - it is expected in the summer. But now an SDK is available, in which more than 1,500 new features have been added, some of them: access to the calendar, photo gallery, support for Bluetooth keyboards, creation of play lists.
iPhone OS 4 is multitasking! In order to switch between applications, just double-click on the Home button and you will see all running applications.

iAd- mobile advertising. This is not a traditional advertisement that we are used to seeing all the time. According to Steve Jobs, Apple strongly wants to raise the level of advertising by combining emotional returns and interactivity.

That's all that was shown at the presentation. Owners of the iPad will have to wait until the fall to get a new version of the system.
