Apple Set To Unveil iPhone OS 4.0

Summer of 2010 is approaching, and the smartphone industry is abuzz with activities. Apple has recently sent invites to the press for a special event in Cupertino on Thursday – to unveil the next major version of the iPhone OS. Rumors are rife that it could be multitasking for the iPhone, with some even pointing their fingers at iPad.

Analysts and enthusiasts who have been following Apple closely have been engaged in decoding the invite itself, which is cryptic - the shadow of a large number "4" stretching across a blue background, with a caption that reads: "Get a sneak peek into the future of the iPhone OS."

What is the new iPhone OS 4.0 set to offer?

Bullet Flash Drives

Concealed within a replica AK-47 bullet is this 2 GB flash drive from Crooks & Castles. The bullet features white branding and includes a detachable chain. The Bull flash drive is available exclusively at the Crooks & Castles Webstore and has been produced in limited quantities.

Microsoft Kin

The gawky teenage offspring of Windows Phone 7 and the Sidekick comes to Verizon this May. Kin isn't a smartphone. It doesn't run apps; you can't install programs. It's a hyper-connected social networking phone aimed at teenagers, hipsters and Perez Hilton. It's the Zune Phone, come to life, plugged into Facebook and Twitter and... MySpace, pulling all of your friends and feeds into a single stream. It's fundamentally designed to share stuff—photos, videos, whatever—with people in a way that no phone out there comes remotely close to. It's the most seamlessly connected phone on the planet. But it's not for you.

Keyboard Turns Any Screen into a Computer

There’s something “magical” about this upcoming Eee keyboard from ASUS. You can connect it to your TV or a standalone LCD monitor (just like any other Bluetooth based wireless keyboard) and use it as a computer.

The keyboard has a built-in LCD panel so you can use it to launch widgets and applications using the touch interface. Or you can use it as a touchpad just like the one on your laptop.
