Well today is the day that techies all over the globe clamor for the next new Apple product. I obviously think that nobody else does hype and buzz around their products like Apple does. But what is less publicized is the new OS update for the iPhone, which is probably the same OS that the Tablet will run on. I am sure we will see many live streaming webcasts of the Event in San Francisco scheduled to 10 a.m Pacific time. This will inevitably launch the new SDK as well since people will be able to develop apps for the new format of the tablet and iPhone developers will have to be able to optimize their already stellar list of apps.

Oh, so we obviously know that the OS 4.0 is coming out since we got a screenshot of it which is in the post here.According to Boy Genius Report her are the features to expect though only rumored.

• There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide. (Would make sense for that as the rumored OS for the iTablet is close if not the same as the iPhone)
• “A few new ways” to run applications in the background — multitasking.
• Many graphical and UI changes to make navigating through the OS easier and more efficient. We haven’t had this broken down, but we can only hope for improved notifications, a refreshed homescreen, etc.
• The update will supposedly be available for only the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but will “put them ahead in the smartphone market because it will make them more like full-fledged computers” more than any other phone to date. Everyone is “really excited.”
• The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.

I guess we will see later today.
