iPhone OS 4.0 To Offer A Landscape Home Screen?

on 04/27/2010 08:07 PDT

Some folks have managed to grab a screenshot of a notification pop up appearing in the iPhone OS 4.0. This could be an error or a hoax, but if you think about it, it’s certainly possible to have a landscape home screen on the iPhone, after all, the iPad offers it while running the iPhone OS 3.2, and jailbroken iPhones can do it using SpringBoard Rotator. Are you looking forward to the possibility of a landscape home screen in iPhone OS 4.0?

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
