Apple IOS 4

For those of you who have iPhones and iPod Touches, What do you think about the new IOS 4 update?

I hope it's good. But the download took forever and it won't let me backup without error.

Well, I am glad that content was removed. But I love it. I have used it so much. The OS is the best one yet. The multitasking doesnt work quite yet. all the apps haven't been updated. But the folders and the mail is amazing

Waiting for the Jailbreak for iOS4 to come out before getting it.

The first jailbreak will be teathered.

I actually already have some of the iOS 4 features on my 3GS because it jail broken. One of them is multi tasking.

well i think Apple does it beautifully

Is this another one that costs money or is it free for iPhone an iTouch users?

Its free for iPhone users. I think iTouch users must pay.

Just installed it on two itouch and didn't pay.

I will check it out. Hold on.

I am pleased so far. One thing I have noticed that is a problem, the mail is slower. That's it besides all the apps haven't been updated

Does it remove the old apps after you upgrade to iOS 4?

No. It just isn't compatible with multitasking til the developers of the apps add the code into the app.

Multi Tasking isn't working for me. I have tried everything on my iTouch, I have been updated on 4.0 for now 2 days or so an I still cannot figure it out. :\

What type of iPod/iPhone do you have?

8GB. It was the 2008 one.

Backed up fine and everything. I hate multitasking though, it drains the battery and I have to keep double-pressing home and holding down the icons to delete them every time I quit an app... I wish you could turn it off somehow.

I love the orientation lock (Double press home and swipe so you go left to the music player, it's the left option)

I also like folders... To an extent. They only show 9 apps but you can have 12 in them. Means 3 are cut off.

I do like the wallpapers. I had to choose one with coloured bars going across the screen so the picture wouldn't look like it had been cut in half upon opening a folder though.

Legend, how do you get the wallpaper inside on the screen where the applications are? Also how do you get the multi tasking to work? I have figured the folders out.

Multitasking is automatic. Not all apps are designed to work with it yet.
Multitasking is basically if you close an app, it appears when you double-press home and press on the app icon. Hold down the icon and press - to delete.
(Ones that are designed to work with Multitasking open where you left off if you re-open them)

For the screen of apps wallpaper, go to images (the sunflower icon thing) and go look at the image you want. Press the arrow coming out of the box on the bottom left of the picture (Press picture once to make the icons show up) and say set as wallpaper.
Press set.
Set as Home Screen (Lock icon is where you drag your finger to turn on)

If you have an 8 Gig iPod Touch it's definitely 2nd Generation, and multitasking and wallpapers aren't enabled for them. =( I have the same.

I see Syfte. I wonder if they ever will have it. I know if you jailbreak it, then you can on 2nd Generation.

Well problem is the hardware will not handle it on the the first gens. Multitasking is only for iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3g 32,64GB models only. Same with backgrounds. The hardware will not handle those two tasks. So your out of luck if you don't have one of those three models or an iPhone 4. Who has the iPhone 4?

I want the new iPhone.

Same. its cheap too

iOS 4 is great, but it's a shame that us, users of older iPhone 2Gs don't have the ability to update

You CAN update, you just won't get Multitasking and Wallpapers.

I really love it and enjoy it... I'm not having the problems that most of the users are because I don't use mobileme
