The software release from Apple is one of the major releases and comes with some 1500 changes and additions to the API. This change is going to be a advantage to the developers who will come up with more advanced and awesome applications on the Apple devices.

We will cover more detailed features of the Apple iOS 4, but for now, below is the list of main features that come in this package:

• Multitasking – This update allows you to do multitasking which means now you can now use many applications with the others working in the background.
• Folders — You can organise your iPhone Home Screen by creating folders by classifying similar applications in one folder decreasing the mess that you had on your screen 🙂 This will also help in organising your stuff in a better way.
• iBooks — This first appeared on iPad and is now made available to the iPhone users also.
• Bluetooth Keyboard Support – Using this feature, you can pair your iPhone with a Bluetooth keyboard and can use your phone as a computer 🙂
• iAd – This gives the Apple application developers the advantage of putting their ads in the applications and generate revenue.

Apart from these features, there are several enhancements to the built-in mail program, including the ability to keep related messages connected in “threads.” We willl come up with a detailed post on the features of iOS 4 soon.

The new software will come standard on the iPhone 4, which will arrive on Thursday to consumers.
