But on Monday, current iPhone users get an early treat in the form of iOS 4, the new iPhone operating system (formerly known as iPhone OS 4). It comes with several enhancements, but the ones people seem most excited about involve multitasking (or background tasks). A little over a week ago, Apple began urging developers to submit their iOS 4-ready app, and a number of them have. And actually, some have already been approved, or will be shortly.</em>"</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1277103183.usr17748.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>TechCrunch has provided a "Best of" list of a handful of apps that are "iOS 4 Ready," that is, may support new new OS features at release (or soon after release), mainly multitasking, or as Apple refers to it, fast app switching. Not a large number yet, but expect to see new versions coming soon for many of your favorites. Oddly enough, several apps that have been reviewed have no apparent changes or enhancements to support iOS 4, so maybe this is an opportunity for developers to fine-tune their apps.</p>
