iOS 4 on my phone. Has since been edited further.
What’s up iOS4! Took a minute but it was worth it. Multitasking and folders are mint.
My brother (because he is on a Mac) was able to update to the iOS4 with iTunes 9.2 installed. I had to wait a bit for 9.2 to hit Windows. Anyone who is savvy enough can now download the Gold Master version of iOS4 and throw it on your phone before the launch date on the 21st.
Mini Review: It’s fantastic. I am not an Apple fanboy and the iPhone is the only Apple product I own but I think that will change soon. The multitasking is flawless and well worth the wait. It doesn’t feel slow or sluggish like an Android. The days of having your AIM or Skype signed on at all times are back with this update. Ex-Sidekick users know what I’m talking about. I finally feel like I have control of my phone’s preferences with the locations updates as well.
I noticed what felt like a small speed jump. One thing is for sure, the Email, and SMS apps are much faster and SMS now includes a nice little character count (nice for anyone who tweets via txt). The camera shows the greatest improvements; pictures snap in lightening speed. No more millisecond wait which would render that unwanted picture blur.
All of the updates and new features leave me with no choice but to give the new iOS4 an A. Not an A+ because that would be perfect and there are a few things I would like to see implemented but I can’t wait to grab hold of a new iPhone 4 when they drop. Great job Apple.
If you want to jump on the bandwagon and update your phone before the 21st; it’s nothing a quick Google search won’t enable. Best of luck.
Update: Added a second screen cap of all of my folders. Makes browsing the phone much nicer without having to scroll 6 pages.
