Today, Apple hosted a special ‘Sneak Preview’ presentation of the next generation iPhone Software.

“iPhone OS 4 is the fourth major release of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’re delivering over 100 new features, including multitasking, folders, a unified inbox, deeper Enterprise support, and an iPhone version of our iBooks reader and online iBookstore.”

Apple's iPad Tablet Computer

After countless years of development, and an on-again, off-again project status with a tablet computer, Apple may be faced with yet another speed-bump with the “iPad” product name from Fujitsu.

“Mobile is a keyword for Fujitsu’s iPad, too,” Mr. Yamane said [in the New York Times article] “With the iPad, workers don’t have to keep running back to a computer. They have everything right at their fingertips.”
