Hundreds Wait For IPhone 4

The unhelpful heritage vanishes

Toshiba Libretto W100 Dual-Touchscreen Display

Toshiba's announcing the Libretto W100. It's a full Windows dual-screen "ultra-mobile PC" that's not quite a tablet and not quite a netbook.

The Libretto has the specs of a halfway decent ultraportable: a 1.2 GHz Pentium U5400 processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 62GB SSD, a USB port and a microSD slot.

Toshiba has also included a few apps to aid with personalization, content previews, and file searching. They include:

Toshiba Bulletin Board
Gives users greater personalization of their desktops with fast access to daily activities, tasks and projects, plus the ability to drag and drop photos, videos, links, documents and application shortcuts into one place.

Toshiba ReelTime
Helps users easily find files based on when they were opened with a simple visual history. With the flick of a finger, quickly scroll through automatically generated previews of documents, photos, videos and more, filter by file type or use the calendar to go back weeks or months.

File Browser
Makes it easier to access file folders and applications.

The libretto W100 will be available in very limited quantities “later this summer”.

iOS 4 Compatibility Check

Will iOS 4 work for you? Check your model before download it:

• iPhone. Besides last year's 3GS, the new software will work with the 3G iPhone, released in 2008, but not with all features. For instance, multitasking and Bluetooth keyboard support won't work with iPhone 3G.

• iPod Touch. The new features are mostly operable only with the latest version of Apple's touch-screen iPod, the one released in late 2009. Multitasking doesn't work with the second-generation iPod Touch, released in 2008.

• iPad. Apple's latest hit — the hard-to-get iPad touch-screen tablet computer — doesn't get the iOS 4 update until later this year.

New iPhone Operating System - iOS 4

If you have a recent iPhone, you'll want to download Apple's new iOS 4 software update today.

Apple's iOS 4 software promises 100 new features for owners of the iPhone 3GS, released last June, including the ability to multitask, or run more than one app at once. It also lets you take control of the growing inventory of apps by organizing them into folders.

The software is being released today in advance of Thursday's 7 a.m. launch of the new iPhone 4.
