Apple released version 4 of their iPhone OS last month, now dubbed iOS 4.

So here are the highlights of my experience.

• Still no custom sound alerts for SMS and Calendar. I can't hear the calendar alerts so this makes the calendar almost useless.
• Multitasking is kinda pointless. While it is a nice effect, right now I haven't seen any major advantages from it.
• Some things are slower to start up now or 'switch to' even though I am on the 'faster' 3GS.
• Camera will now take pictures immediately when you tap, just have to wait a while for it to start up. :-)
• Portrait rotation lock is nice when you want something to stay without rotating. Though, would be great if we also got landscape locking.
• Switching between multiple email inboxes is a lot easier.
• Can edit playists on the fly.
• Albums get kinda messed up.

Whlie multitasking is nice, I didn't really feel like it was missing, the iPad is a whole other story and I see the need for multitasking on that.

Overall: Not too bad, though still no custom sound alerts. :-( Apple continue to improve the iPhone, though I guess they can't do everything at once.
