I finally upgraded my iPod Touch’s software to the latest Apple release, the iOS 4. Quite a quaint name but it hell brings in a lot of new features with it. iOS 4 is the first version of the OS to arrive as a free upgrade on the iPod touch. Lucky us iPod Touch users then.

Blogger friend Alps talks about the iBooks app, one of the main highlights of the iOS 4. The iBooks app is very very useful and convenient but it is not what really got me excited to upgrade to iOS 4. It’s the ability to set a wallpaper on the home screen! I’ve been wanting this simple feature for so long already and now it’s here. Goodbye black boring screen.

The other iOS 4 features that I like are, really, only a few:

• home screen wallpaper capability
• iBooks – maybe I should read something off — some Internet diet prolly
• folders – you can now use folders to simply group your apps per category; a cool feature, but next time, they should put a password feature for the folders
• create song playlists on the iPod itself
• multitasking (I rarely do multitasking on my iPod anyways)
• spell check – in times of brain freeze, this is handy dandy
• integrated mail app – puts all your email accounts’ mail in one inbox
• and a lot more I have yet to discover

Overall, I am glad I upgraded to the iOS 4. I mean, everyone (those applicable) should upgrade to the iOS 4. You get a bunch of new features and your iPod will look sleeker as ever. Thanks to Techlivez btw since I manually downloaded iOS 4 from the direct link they provided. Can’t wait to discover more new features from my iPod’s iOS 4.
