What’s new with iPhone OS 4.0

iPhone OS 4.0 Preview

iPhone OS 4.0 Preview

On April 8, Apple unveiled plans for the biggest and most exciting iPhone software update yet. iPhone OS 4 will include over 100 new user features for iPhone and iPod touch owners to enjoy. And for developers, a new software development kit (SDK) offers over 1500 new APIs to create apps that are even more powerful, innovative, and amazing.

iPhone OS 4 will ship this summer for iPhone and iPod touch, and for iPad in the fall. A developer beta is available now.

The most exciting feature to me is multi-tasking ability; I remember when Apple iPad was launched, the biggest critics were not having ability to multitask. I am happy that it would not be a nag now. Some people commented that Apple should have used downgraded version of Mac OS X instead of building on iPhone OS. But now it seems that it was all well planned by Apple. :)

Firefox 3.6 with Personas

Firefox 3.6 with Personas

I love to update my computer with every new release Firefox comes up with and this time it has lovely Personas. Previewing a theme is so easy with it..! Just like Google Chrome and it's fast as well.

I liked the fact that almost all majorly used Firefox extensions were working with this update except "Microsoft .NET Framework Assistance" which is probably not compatible since Firefox 3.5.6 version.

What's new in Firefox 3.6? (as per release notes from Mozilla)

Firefox 3.6  is built on Mozilla's Gecko 1.9.2 web rendering platform, which has been under development since early 2009 and contains many improvements for web developers, add-on developers, and users. This version is also faster and more responsive than previous versions and has been optimized to run on small device operating systems such as Maemo.

Before a week probably I got mail authored by "John Reese" / BlogRush, about it's shutdown news.
I was one of the user of BlogRush and had BlogRush widget on my blogs. Although I was not sure that whether that widget was able to bring more traffic or not, it was just a nice addition on the blog. Although many times the related blogs were not actually close to the topic of my blog but..anyways. I didn't thought of removing it from my blog. Read the rest of this entry »
