For sometimes past, multitasking with iPhones has continued to be the main concern of customers all over the world. Addressing the problem of its customers, Apple has now launched its 4.0 reference. This new iPhone operating system will provide extra support for running several third party applications concurrently. At the same time the users will have the option of switching between the applications. That has been made possible with the introduction of a window management system much on the same line as the Mac OS X operating system management offered by Apple.

Unique Technology

New technology introduced by Apple is unique in the sense that not only it will enable the user have multiple applications in the background but will also allow them to quickly switch between such applications. Without doubt, this will be a great improvement on the existing system of quitting one application in order to access another returning to home screen first and switching over to the desired application next.

Shying Away from Multitasking

Reasons for which Apple did not opt for multitasking in its iPhone was that they wanted the user experience to be simple and at the same time wanted to preserve battery life. Of course there were others like the Android and Windows Mobile that allows launching multiple applications simultaneously require that the user manipulate the iPhone applications manually and also stop energy sapping programs thereby. Moreover the iPhone 3 x firmware that could be used for multitasking is preemptive but the restrictions imposed on applications other than the system that comes along the iPhone are rather artificial in nature.
