iOS 4.0

Well, the days of the iPhone OS are over, and now with 3 products using this OS, Apple has changed the name to the iOS. I'll be reviewing this on the iPod Touch 2g. When I upgraded, I was sort of expecting more than what I got, considering the iPod Touch 2g just has 128MB of memory. My iPod lacked several new features that had been advertised on Apple's website. One of those features was Multitasking. I've heard it's a great feature, and now that I've used it with the iPhone 4, its a great one! Just open an app, and then when you go back to the home screen it just keeps the app open in the background. When you'd like to open the app up again and pick up where you left off, it's as simple as double tapping. One of the downfalls is the way to close the apps. From what I saw, there is no way to close the app completely unless you double-tap and click and hold on the app you want to close. That's just a little too much. I wonder if there's another way. Another great feature is folders. Folders let you store similar apps in one location, just to save home screen space, I assume. It's very useful if you're like me, and download a bunch of pointless, free apps. The only bad thing is that you can only store 9 apps in one folder. Another new feature is backgrounds. You can add wallpaper to your home screen. You cannot do this on an iPod Touch 2g. That was a slight disappointment. On the bright side, iOS runs very smooth on my device. I give it a 8/10 just for not having the features I wanted. Thanks for reading!
