Just got it this morning. Absolutely Fabtastic!


Main things that affect me and my iPod Touch 3G:

-Multitasking
-Rotation Lock
-Wallpapers
-Folders
-Consolidated Inbox

Seems very good on battery life too.

Still discovering new features. So far so good!

So far so good.

Seems to scroll from screen to screen much smoother as well.

What have you got, Evilfantasy?

iPod Touch 3G.

I will be getting an iPhone 4 in October. Hopefully most of the bugs will be worked out of it by then

Some good feature descriptions at Lifehacker

I've read a few posts that the battery life gets sucked down a lot faster with iOS 4, so may give it a few days before I do any upgrading. Anyone who's done the upgrade run into this issue?

Just keep the background apps to a minimum.

So far, seems great on the battery life.

Yea figuring out what all is actually running might be a trick in itself. Not everything supports multi-tasking. Has anyone figured out an easy way to tell what all is actually running?

The folders are cool but it's like going through all of your bookmarks and sorting them into categories. I stayed up WAY too late last night doing that!

Double click the home button?

But which ones are actually running apps?

Now, once the jailbreak for OS4 comes out I'll do it. Funny thing, I've been backgrounding apps before OS3 came out, why hasn't Apple come out with this sooner.

Everything listed in the multitasking menu is running in the background. Hold your finger on an icon (the same way you do when you're rearranging icons on your home menu) to close apps.

Sigh........ Why jailbreak it?

One thing I've always found weird, anything that Microsoft does ever to stifle other third party developers get's them loads upon loads of flak, and when they accidentally do so it's a "calculated business decision" and yet, when apple makes it so that their Operating Systems (iOS, as an example) can only run software specifically approved by Apple it's all normal, and anybody trying to decide what they want to run on their iphone are evil vagrants promoting anarchy.

Also, I might point out that wether jailbreaking is legal or not has not yet been decided. According to Apple, jailbreaking infringes on their copyright and is therefore subject to the DMCA; on the other hand, jailbreaking only changes what is allowed to run and artificially preventing non authorized code from running is hardly a protection mechanism (it must be a "protection" mechanism to be subject to the DMCA). The fact is that saying "circumventing protection" is wholly dependent on the definition of "protection". by the same token removing a protective case could be construed as illegal if you have good enough lawyers.
