New Toys for iPhone!

I guess everybody got or going to get their iPhones updated with the new iOS4.0!  Finally, its out and some features are really great, I wonder why didn't they thought of it sooner... 

Highlighted some need to know features.  I extracted this from [lifehacker], please click the link to view the full article.

New to the Bar

Hold then drag-and-drop to create app folders: You can now create folders to store and organize the apps on your iPhone's home screen, particularly handy if you're a bit of an app junkie. To create a folder, tap and hold any icon on the home screen until they all start wiggling. Then drag and drop any application on top of another to create a folder with those apps together.

 
 





Double-tap home for quick app switching: The quick app switching shortcut pulls up your most recently opened applications whenever you double-tap the home button. Then just tap on any app you want to quickly switch to it without going back to the home screen.  

Note: You'll need at least an iPhone 3GS or later generation iPod touch to use multitasking.





Unified inbox: If you access multiple email accounts from your phone but you'd prefer to be able to read through them in one unified stream, Mobile Mail now has a unified "All Inboxes" feature that does just that.
  









Change your home screen wallpaper: Okay, this one's mostly for eye candy, but if you always ached for some personality in your home screen background, fire up Settings -> Wallpaper, pick an image you want to use, and set it as your home screen wallpaper.  

Note: We can't really imagine what possible reason there is for this one, but you can't set a wallpaper for the home screen on 3G or first generation iPhones.





So What's New? for the occasional average joe...

• Make folders for great organization.  No more excuses to slide the through the pages for fun :P 
• New shortcut for recently used apps/functions.
• Multi-app support! Yay! I can do more! and Yay! My battery life is shorter!
