iOS4 First Impressions (iPod Touch 2g Before Jailbreak)
Firstly it needs to be stated that my iPod Touch 2G does not have all the features that come with the iOS4 (wallpapers, multitasking, etc) as stated by Apple.
Now, the most noticeable thing about this update is the speed and smoothness. It has a few new visual tweaks that make the new OS more aesthetically pleasing. Nothing much more to be said there.
The next thing to be mentioned is the folders (an example is the image to the left). You simply drag one app onto the other that you both want in a folder, the name for the folder is decided automatically by the genre of apps and it’s as simple as that. The folders can however only hold up to 12 apps. Changing the name of a folder is easy as holding down the apps till they shake, tap on the folder and you’ll see something similar to this, tap on the name box and change the name of the folder to anything of your choice.
Also, if you have a app in the folder that supports push notifications, when you do get a notification you get get a number icon on the top right of the folder (example) like you would for the mail app, showing how many notifications you have in one of the apps in the folder.
I believe that is all that is worth mentioning. As you most likely gathered from the title. I will be jailbreaking this device to see what possibility it holds. Supposedly the jailbreak unlocks the features that apple didn’t allow for the “slower” devices (wallpapers, multitasking, etc) automatically after the jailbreak. Stay tuned for an update of how that goes.
