iPhone OS 4.0 with over 100 new features



iPhone OS 4.0

The sneak peak event on iPhone OS 4.0 is now over. Steve Jobs was on stage and he promised tons of new stuff for the next-gen iPhone OS. There's multi-tasking, app folders, social gaming plus so much more.

As you'll see from this slide there are many new interesting features, but in their presentation Apple decided to concentrate on the "7 tentpole ones" - as they call them.


1. Multi-tasking

Multi-tasking on the iPhone - well, how about that! It took them 3 years and three (almost four) generations of iPhones to come to that. They know they're late but Steve Jobs is promising their implementation is the best so far. And multi-tasking won't slow down or drain the battery.
The way they do it on the front-end is simple. Double tap the hardware key and the task switcher appears as a dock below whatever app is running. Oops, there goes our only shortcut key.

On the back-end things are different. Instead of keeping all apps running in the background, they allow apps that need multi-tasking access to 7 background services. So it's actually the services that run in the background - not the actual apps.
The background services seem more than enough to cater for the needs of various applications. They include background audio, VoIP, background location, push notifications, newly implemented local notifications, task completion and fast app switching service that takes care of returning apps to you in the way you left them even though they DIDN'T actually run in-between.
The new local notifications will allow scheduled alerts such as one from a To-Do app. Finally!
2. Folders
Next up are folders. But not the file system variety. No, sir! You're not getting a file manager on the iPhone just yet.
iPhone OS 4 iPhone OS 4 iPhone OS 4 iPhone OS 4 Folders
The new iPhone Folders will do what the Categories app does for jailbroken phones. It allows grouping of applications into meaningful categories (such as Zombie Games, for instance) so you don't have to flick through all your homescreens for some blood-splatting action.

3. Improved email

The Email app on the iPhone now will offer a common inbox for all email accounts setup on the phone. No more flicking back and forth. And corporate users will be glad they can have more than one Exchange account setup.

Fast inbox switching is also available now along with threaded email conversations. And you can also open attachments with an application you've downloaded from the AppStore.

4. iBooks

The iBooks e-book reader you've probably seen demoed on the iPad will now be available to the iPhone as well along with the iBookStore and free copy of Winnie The Pooh (not kidding!).

5. New features for enterprise

Targeting the enterprise clients, Apple has introduced a bunch of new stuff such as better data protection, Exchange Server 2010 support, SSL VPN support, and mobile device management.

6. Game center

With iPhone OS 4.0 gaming will get a new social networking aspect bringing it up to speed to the Windows Phone 7's Xbox Live interconnectivity.

With the new Game center you'll be able to invite friends for online multiplay, you'll be able to post scores in Leaderboards and unlock Achievements.

7. iAd mobile advertising solution

The final "tentpole" of the new iPhone OS is a new mobile advertising system for the iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch that called iAd.
iAd will allows developers to integrate ads into their apps so that they can possibly release free, ad-sponsored versions of their apps.
iPhone OS 4 iPhone OS 4 iPhone OS 4 iAd mobile advertising
With iAd users will be able to click on advertisements and check them out (even video content) from within the application they originally saw them in.
Apple will be selling the iAds and will host them as well. In return they'll be getting 40% of what the advertiser is paying. Developers get the rest.

Misc stuff

As of iPhone OS 4.0, users will be able to add a wallpaper image to the springboard itself. It's something jailbroken iPhones have had for years, but it's nice to have it out of the box as they do on the iPad.
iPhone OS 4 Setting up a wallpaper image
As we already said, there are lots of other new things such as Bluetooth keyboard support, search in SMS/MMS, tap-to-focus in video recording, Places in photos sourced from the geotagging information, web search suggestions, recent web searches list, photo rotation, workout uploads to Nike+, gift apps, etc.

Availability

The new iPhone OS 4.0 will be available this summer (along with the new iPhone we presume) but they're issuing a developer's preview today so we should hear a lot more about those new features in detail in the coming months.
The iPhone OS 4.0 will be available to the iPhone 3G and 3GS as an update. However many of the new features, INCLUDING multi-tasking won't work on the iPhone 3G. There's no word about the iPhone 2G yet.
And since the iPad is a hot topic right now - yes, it's also getting an update to iPhone OS 4.0 - however later on - in the fall.

iPhone OS 4 comes on 8 April, brings video calls to the iPhone


While Apple are still mum when it comes to the launch date of the next-gen iPhone, surprisingly, they have just announced when is coming the next iPhone OS. The iPhone OS 4 will be unveiled in a couple of days, on 8 April. And, reportedly, it will finally bring video calls to the iPhone.
iPhone OS 4
Apple have sent out invitations for an iPhone OS 4 event that will take place on 8 April. The message itself welcomes the press to "get a sneak peek into the future of iPhone OS".
Meanwhile an O2 UK subsidiary site leaked one of the new features that the new OS will bring along. According to the price list you see below the iPhone will feature video calls. Now we are not sure if the users will have to rely on the primary camera (as the iPhone lacks a dedicated video-call camera) or it will only work with the expected 4th generation iPhone but we will see about that soon.

List of Ayyappa Temples in India and Abroad

                                                                             
                                                                             Assam
Ayyappa Temple, The premises of "Sankata Mochan Ashram" behind Punjab National Bank, R.G. Barua Road, Near Nursery Bus Stop, Ganeshguri, Guwahati - 5. (Under Purbanchal Shree Ayyappa Seva Samity, a registered Trust )The other temples of “Ganesh Shiva, Bhadrakali and Hanuman” are already there for the worship of devotees since very beginning.
These famous temples were consecrated by 'Parsuraman'.
It is interesting to note that the `Pratishtas' (Idols) at these temples vary from each other in its representative forms, i.e the Kulathupuzha idol depicts Sastha as a child, Aryankavu idol depicts Sastha as young man, Achankovil idol depicts God as a Gruhasthshrami with his wives Poorna and Pushkala while the idol at Sabarimala depicts Sastha as a totally celibate God in meditation.  
Kulathupuzha
'Sastha' is depicted here as a child. The rivers in front of the temple are inhabited by  various varieties of fish. The most important vazhipadu in this temple is to provide food for the fish in these rivers. The 'Matsya' kanyakas saw 'Bala Sastha' undergoing penance at this location.  Due to their intense devotion, 'Sastha' decided to adopt the life style of these 'Matsya' kayakas. It is due to this fact that offering feed to the fishes is an important part of the ritual of this temple.
 Aryankavu
In this temple, Sastha is depicted in his youthful image, as a young man, sitting  with his leg leg folded and right extended,  on an elephant. Within the four walls of the temple, rituals are conducted in accordance with Malayali traditions.  During the 'Ultsavam' days Tamil traditions are followed.  On the eight day of the festival was the proposed 'thalikettu' ceremony and it was that time  that it was learnt that the bride had become a 'Rithumathi ' (gets her 'Periods') . Therefore  'Thalikettu' is not performed here.
It is believed that that the Devi, sitting on the 'mambazha thara' was brought by Saurashtriyans for the marriage. Sadya is offered. On 9th Dhanu, 'Pandyan Mudippu' and on 10th Dhanu, 'Thrikalyanam' is performed here. 'Kumbhabhishkeham' is performed on the 11th of Dhanu.
Achankovil
In this temple, Sastha is depicted  'gruhasthashrami' or a family man. Sitting in with his hand extended in 'Chinmudra' posture, in his palm he has sandalwood and holy water. These are used as antidotal divine medicine to cure snake bites.  In this region, any one who gets bitten by snakes is taken to the temple and not to a hospital. Even at midnight, if a snake bite victim is brought to thee temple, and the temple bells are rung, the 'nada' is immediately opened to attend to the victim.
The construction of this temple was completed iIn Malayalam year of 1106, Makaram 12th. Pratishta dinam Ulsavam is on Makaram (Revathi nakshatram) of every year. The temple festival is held from Dhanu 1st to 10th every year. The temple is located in the midst of a forest. The approach to this temple is through Shenkotta (Tamilnadu) or via Pathanapuram (Alimukku)

Achankovil (Contributed by sankarrenganathan@sparinc.com)

In the temple at Achankovil, Lord Dharma Shasta is worshipped in the aspect of Manikanda Shastha with His two Divine Consorts, Poorna and Pushkala. Here the Lord is depicted in the aspect of a householder. The names of the consorts indicate they have symbolic meaning. Two priests offer the Poojas. According to tradition the great sage Parasurama installed the idol in the temple at the time when he installed the five Shastas and a Bagavathi to protect the Western Ghats and the related regions.

The holy Eighteen steps are not as steep as in Sabarimalai, and are guarded by Lord Ganesha and Lord Muruga, instead of Periya Kadutha Swamy and Chinna Karuppu Swamy. The well in temple is supposed to carry an herbal plant underneath called Neela Koduveli, which is an antidote to poisons. The abhisheka thirtham, the sacred water with medicinal properties, and the sandalwood prasadam are giving relief in physical ailments and spiritual solace to thousands. Therefore the Lord is also considered as Danvantharamoorthy, the Divine Physician. Outside the western gate, on a mount, there is a temple of Goddess Bhagavathi.

Extensive poojas are performed in the temple on Fridays. There are also shrines of Lord Krishna, Goddess Bagavathi and Kannimula Maha Ganapathy. There is a Swayambhu Nagaraja, the self-formed Serpent Deity, which is vibrant with immense mystic power. The Kodimaram, the temple flag-staff with Ashtadikpalakargal, the Guardian Deities of the eight quarters, on it is in the final stages of having a gold covering. The temple is getting ready for renovation during the Uttaraayana. Facing the shrine of Lord Shasta there is the temple, Karuppuswamy Kovil.

The shrine is located amidst the dense forests of the Western Ghats in between Senkottai (28 Kms from the temple) and Ranni (40 Kms from the temple). The place is about 12 kms away from Sabarimala by a forest route - a very difficult route indeed. People in Achankovil speak both Tamil and Malayalam.

The shrine is open between 0500 Hrs to 1230 Hrs IST and 1700 Hrs to 2030 Hrs IST. Buses ply frequently to Achankovil from Punalur, Pattinamitta and Senkottai.
