The widespread rage that surrounds the Apple iPhone and the related iPhone application development is no stranger to any person who’s even remotely aware of the current happenings on the technology scene. The Mobile application development community has found a bundle of sheer joy with iPhone application development as the scope to develop interactive and innovative applications that act as revenue magnets is huge.

The recent news to surface in the global as well as offshore Mobile application development community is the impending launch of the latest version of the iPhone OS. Apple has been quite tight-lipped about their prized conception but still speculations are rife that multi-tasking might be one of the major features in the latest OS version and would be made available to third party developers too. The major reason behind leaving out multi-tasking in a revolutionary phone like the iPhone was that multi-tasking meant increased power consumption levels something that Apple worked hard at curbing with a view to improving user cellular experience.

The other possible features may include wireless printing support that would improve the utility of Keynote, Numbers and Pages applications that Apple introduced in its widely popular iPad. Another source of glee for the iPhone application development community is the possibility of the inclusion of an advertising API for its mobile devices. Support for iTunes streaming in iPhone OS 4.0 is also a possibility considering Apple’s acquisition of LaLa online music service. Some other areas that are doing the rounds of discussion within the Mobile application development community are a front facing camera, higher screen resolution and enhanced parental controls. One thing is for sure, the iPhone OS 4.0 will surely split the iPhone application development market wide open with its new features opening up new avenues for developers and connoisseurs alike.
