According to recent reports, the upcoming iPhone 4.0 operating system is about to have its features and capabilities shown off this coming April 8. Just a few days right after the launch of the iPad touch screen tablet, Apple has been sending out special invitations for their presentation of the iPhone operating system version 4.0.

It is no longer a surprise that Apple is announcing this right now, it was already speculated early on that details on the new OS as well as the new phone might be revealed this April. In fact, it is even more surprising that they have not said a word about the upcoming iPhone 4G device itself.

Anyway, owners of the iPhone would be happy to know that the next big addition that version 4.0 will bring is the inclusion of multitasking. No word yet on how device performance will be once users are running several applications at once, but there are plenty of iPhone users who would be willing to tolerate a little slowdown when making use of the multitasking feature.

For Apple users, not being able to enjoy simple features such as cut and paste, multitasking, Flash support or even having a removable battery has been a constant struggle as Steve Jobs and his colleagues are often too stubborn to change things.

Aside from the announcement of multitasking on OS 4.0, there are also rumors that the new iPhone 4G will have a removable battery –a giant leap over other Apple devices that are often closed.

The Apple iPad, despite being a new device, features several of the mentioned flaws such as not having Adobe Flash support, no removable battery and yes, lack of multitasking.
