New features includeiPhone at sunset

  • multitasking for third-party apps
  • folders to allow for better app organisation and access
  • unified inbox in Mail, allowing users to see messages from all their email accounts displayed together in a single inbox
  • fast inbox switching and threaded messages
  • iAd, Apple’s new mobile advertising platform
  • iBooks, Apple’s new ebook reader and online bookstore
  • enhanced enterprise support, including better data protection, mobile device management and wireless app distribution

Not all features will work on all devices – for instance, multitasking will only run on the iPhone 3GS or third-generation iPod Touch.
