The new OS the iOS4 which is coming up with the new iPhone4 brings new capabilities to the device and also brings in new apps, the reason why updates are being made to the apps is the new multitasking capabilities which will make use of new API’s and thus the iPhone application developers need to make necessary changes to the codes , so that the apps can multitask , if these changes are not made tha apps will run fine but will not be multitasking capable .
iPhone users are pretty excited about the new multitasking enabled platform , so are the iPhone developers who are creating the apps accordingly or have already created and submitted to App Store .Few of the iPhone apps which were submitted by iPhone developers last month have already been approved and ready for download over the App Store , while other iPhone developers are waiting approval , and few other iPhone application developers are busy creating apps .
The Multitasking is not same as may perceive , they aren’t running all their functions in background , instead Apple allows third party apps to only perform certain functions in the background , because a app using maximum resources at the back end will be a great battery disaster , I mean it will leave your phone dead by the time the sun sets and you plan to open your Evernote app to check what all things you planned to cover by the end of the day . The multitasking in iPhone or iPod just saves the state of the app and sets it in the background , a kind of pause to the game you were playing , once done open the multitasking bar and switch to the app directly and resume from where you were . This is implemented to save battery and CPU resources and also saves user time if the iPhone app developers make it iOS 4 ready .
So far the best iOS4 ready apps out on the App Store are :-
Evernote – - – - – - - – - – DropBox – - – - – - – - Zagat To Go
- 
– 
Pandora Twitterrific 3 Navigon
Foursquare – - – - - - LinkedIn – - - - - - - Loopt
- 
-
NY Times – - – - - How To Cook Everything
– - 
– - – - – -
So far these were the best apps , even more are expected to come very soon , iPhone app developers are looking ahead to get their apps ready for the iOS 4 platform as soon as possible .
These changes are definitely going to be a boon for iPhone application development , bringing in more colors to the iPhone 4.0 .
