iOS 4 is Finally Here!

As an iPhone 3GS user, I've been looking forward to the new update to the operating system (now named iOS) for awhile now and I'm happy to say that it released earlier today!  A lof the changes in functionality are subtle, but the two big ones that I (and countless others) have been clamoring for are mutlitasking and folders.

The multitasking allows users to have multiple apps running at the same time, whereas before only one app at a time could be open and running.  The folers allows a more streamlined experience in which apps of like functionality can be grouped together to remove clutter.

Unfortunately the launch happened after getting to the studio, so my impressions will have to come on another day, but what are your thoughts?  Do you own an iPhone or iPod, and if so, are you as excited about the update as I am?  Does this update finally push you over the edge to go out and purchase one?  Let me know!

Here's today's Web Waster:

TheOnion - Just about everyone has heard of The Onion, right?  I originally thought so, but I actually spoke with a co-worker today who had no idea what it was, so I thought I'd feature it for today's site.  They're a parody newspaper that you can pick up for free in many cities and they've had a great site for awhile now.  Just remember, as true as some of the stories may seem to be, they're just satire!
