iPhone OS 4.0 To Feature Expose Style Multitasking?

According to the guys over at Apple Insider, the iPhone OS 4.0 will finally feature one thing that many iPhone users have wanted for some time, multitasking.

At the moment, you can only use one application at a time in the current iPhone OS, if you want to use another application you have to quit the one you are using and start the new application.

Apple Insider are reporting that the iPhone OS 4.0 will have a multitasking feature that will use a UI which is similar to Apple’s desktop Expose feature, and if you hit the home button twice, it will bring up an Expose like interface that will show a series of icons that represent the current applications that are running.

This will allow users to quickly switch between running application, and apparently when you select one of the applications, the iPhone OS will zoom out of the Expose like interface and launch the application you have selected.

It will be interesting to see if Apple finally adds multitasking to the iPhone OS, and how it will actually work in practice, it is definitely one feature that I would like to see on the iPhone and the iPad.

Pad Dock Turns Your iPhone Into An iPad

If you don’t fancy shelling out your hard earned cash for one of Apple’s new iPads, and already own an iPhone or an iPod Touch, then why not get one of these Pad Dock’s which will convert your iPhone into an iPad.

You can dock your iPhone or iPod Touch with the Pad Dock and it will automatically magnify the screen, turning it into an iPad, the best part is it costs a lot less than an iPad.

Using a touch-screen magnifier, your iPhone screen is enlarged to the exact dimensions of an iPad. Most of the features that the iPad boasts about are on the iPhone anyway, so it only makes good sense to simply enlarge it. And, unlike the iPad, you can actually answer and make calls. Technology, eh?

If you want one, the Pad Dock is available for £89.99 about $135 from IWOOT.
