On-demand video of Apple's iPhone Software 4.0 event now available
Apple has published a standard-definition QuickTime video stream of Thursday morning's iPhone Software 4.0 preview event hosted by Steve Jobs, Scott Forstall, and Phil Schiller.
A high-definition version of the video stream will likely appear after traffic to the company's servers dies down.
The hour-long event at Apple's campus gave way to the first previews of iPhone OS 4.0, which included 7 new 'tent pole' features, including Multitasking, Folders, Improved Mail, iBooks for iPhone and iPod touch, New Enterprise Features, Game Center, and the company's new iAd advertising service for apps.
Due this summer, the release will also include dozens of other feature additions such as File & delete Mail search results; Search SMS/MMS messages; Web search suggestions; Choose image size in Mail messages; Bluetooth keyboards; CalDav invitations; Larger fonts for Mail, SMS & alerts; Cell data only setting; Spell check; Persistent Wi-Fi; Gift Apps; Birthday calendar; Recent Web searches; Create Playlists; Top Hit in search; 5x digital zoom; Nested Playlists; CardDav; Tap to focus video; Upload workouts to Nike+; Places in Photos; iPod Out; Home screen wallpaper; Search SMS/MMS messages; and Wake on wireless.

Whoa, multitasking? I think Apple fans' heads have just exploded.
I thought multitasking was "a completely unnecessary feature"?
I thought multitasking is "too complicated for ordinary apple users"?
It's nice to see Apple finally catching up with the competition.

The story writer must have grabbed a specific instance in the content distribution network, the link I gave is more generic.

You know what'd be cool? If you didn't get all fighty right at the very start of a thread. Save it until the discussion's been going for a few pages and some people have had a chance to say some interesting or thoughtful things.
At least, I think that'd be cool. But maybe I'm the weirdo here.
whhhhoooohaaaaaa....... "dance, dance"
