Apple enthusiast site 9to5mac has managed to grab a screenshot from the latest version of iPhone OS 4, which shows a notification popping up in landscape view. While this is likely done in an error, there is still a remote possibility of Apple bringing such support to iPhone. After all, iPhone 3.2 for iPad supports landscape view, then why not on iPhone and iPod touch?
iPhone OS 4 Beta 2 was pushed to developers yesterday and it mainly brought API improvements, increased performance and bug fixes. Apart from this, Apple has also added a new faster and smoother animation for switching between apps during multitasking. This carousel transition rotates apps in a wheel-like form.

We all saw this coming didn't we? Apple apparently has sent an official letter to Gawker Media – the company which runs Gizmodo blog, requesting them to return their “secret” handset. The letter was signed by Bruce Sewell, the Senior Vice President & General Counsel of Apple Inc and can be seen as attached below.
Folks over at Gizmodo have finally spilled the beans on how they actually got hold of Apple’s darling, that is the next-generation iPhone which was lost at a bar in Redwood City. We are not sure of how much of this is truth, but at least this what we 'have been told so far.
If you have ever owned or use an HTC phone like HTC HD2 or HTC Desire with HTC Sense, you will know how great a job HTC has done in tightly integrating the phone with social networks like Facebook and Twitter. This is something that iPhone users have been missing even with three major iterations of the OS. But with iPhone OS 4, Apple is likely to change this all.
It now seems like the new iPhone which Engadget got hold of from a bar in San Jose, California was indeed the real deal. Another gadget blog Gizmodo has now got their hands on the handset which they are said to have found from a bar in Redwood City. While we cant say for sure that this is the final design that Apple has zeroed upon, but the likelihood of this being the next-iPhone seems very high now as also confirmed by Apple critic John Gruber of Daring Fireball.
