At long last, the much awaited and looked forward to iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 4 is now ready for download, and you will be pleased to note that there is a brand new option in the Settings menu – yes, we’re talking about tethering here the legit way. Of course, other phones like those on the Symbian or Windows Mobile platform have long offered tethering for a few years now, but it is nice to see Apple finally make the move and catch up with its rivals. Anyone downloaded this and given it a go yet? Image courtesy of Gizmodo.

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.
