> No way in hell thAt I can make it but I’ll be watching closely. We’ve all known that iPhone OS 4.0 was coming in the near future, I assumed that Apple would show it off during the Worldwide Developers Conference in the summer.

So I was wrong about this. Apple will announce the new iPhone 4.0 OS this week and probably ship it by Summer for WWDC. Good to see someone as smart as Andy Ihnatko thought the same way I did.
Seems odd that they’d take some of the buzz off the iPad so soon, so I have to assume that this update will be for iPad as well as iPhone and iPod Touch.
It makes some sense now that Apple called the OS on iPad 3.2, instead of 4.0. Now that 4.0 is being announced so soon, I wonder if 3.2 will ever make it onto the iPhone. Maybe Apple will just skip it and go straight to 4, rather than giving us 3.2 in the interim?
I was hoping for the home screen background pic action. And I really hope that Apple decides to make the iPhone more rotation-friendly in all directions, like the iPad.
At any rate, I guess I’d better start saving my pennies for a new iPhone this summer.
