We want to know what you think of the new software, what you like, dislike, etc...

Sound off!

Some good stuff in 4.0 but I'm a bit disappointed that notifications are being updated in a way I did not expect. I was under the impression it would look more subtle rather than continuing to pop up in my face each and every time.

Overall I was underwhelmed with the 4.0 release… there was nothing new that a competitor does not already do. Granted no one has everything all in one place like the iPhone 4.0, but I didn’t see any real innovation. It feels like they are just playing catch up with RIM / Android.

Innovative for iPhone – YES

Innovative in general - NO

Not the A+ upgrade I hoped for.

They've really pissed me off that iphone 3g dosent get multitasking, which is the best feature of the damn thing. STUPID APPLE!

We will all still miss out multiple notifications that arrive.
Still no elegant notifications like the Android

They have to cut it off somewhere. Really no different that Android in that respect. Time for you to upgrade...

Biggest disappointment for me.

Agreed. Plus no updates to the Homescreen and Notifications. My Jailbroken 3GS does most of this now and more. Oh well maybe more surprises await but I'm not holding my breath.

I have multitasking on my 3G because it's jailbroken but the limited memory really hampers the 3G's ability to do it well. Often I'll get low memory notifications.

I'm sure Apple knows the limitations of the 3G and it's because of these limitations the 3G isn't getting multitasking.

The requested changes to notifications may still happen. We only saw a small portion of the changes to the OS. I would love to see changes to the notifications, but if it doesn't happen in this release, I'm still thrilled with the changes they showed off today. Looks good so far.
