D-Day for iPhone OS sneak-peak, what I hope to happen

Today is D-Day for the iPhone OS4 sneak-peak and. There are a lot of rumors. Weird. But they always talk about the obvious.

First of all, I would hope for a name change. iPhone OS sucks. Big time. And besides, it's not about the iPhone anymore.

Secondly, multitasking. This is imperative, now more than ever with the introduction of the iPad. I don't care what type or form of multitasking - Windowing, Expose-like or whatever. Frankly I don't care. It just needs any multitasking if its to have a serious future.

Thirdly, I expect Apple to talk a bit more about its acquisitions... specifically Quattro Wireless, a Mobile Advertising company - More specifically, the direct competition of AdMob a company that Google is trying to purchase. I mean, yeah of course, this is for helping advertisers reach customers but I would also use it to let developers monetize their free apps. Sometimes, I'm skeptic of a world where everyone needs to pay for apps, contents or services on the Internet for personal use. So, it would make sense to just charging for premium apps and regular apps through advertising. I expect Apple to WOW me with this. I'm that if they talk about this, it will be a whole new way to mobile advertising and online advertising in general, I expect nothing less from the company that probably has the most powerful advertising in Silicon Valley.


I really expect nothing less than something wow from Apple on Ads. I mean, a company that probably has the best advertising of all Silicon Valley should

I think that either they make it right from the beginning and ensure a future of dominance on the mobile OS market or are doomed to let Google takeover by implementing a similar tactic and start changing how stuff is to be done on its turf. The Internet.

And no, I don't expect any Flash. The only Flash news I would expect is that Adobe finally finished developing a similar technology based on its AIR runtime and that Flash apps and let them run natively on the iPhone OS and offer Flash apps at the Apps Store. This would allow developers unfamiliar with the iPhone OS SDK to develop Flash apps and capitalize on the billion-dollar apps game. But I highly doubt it, really.

Other than that, the rest would be just mere details.
