- Background apps are still not allowed, but 'inactive' ones are supported. Say what?!? I'll let Apple's official documentation to explain it to you: "When an application is inactive, it is executing but is not dispatching incoming events. This occurs when an overlay window pops up or when the device is locked.” This has been found at iPhone SDK Built 4 & in iPhone OS 2.0 beta release (5A258f), which back then was mis-interpreted by many developers.
- 'Import SIM Contacts' feature. "Theoretically, this would allow SIM cards pulled from other phones to have contact information transferred to the iPhone permanent — assuming the cards came from the same carrier. This task could previously be accomplished with some jailbreak applications like 'SIMport', though with mixed results."
- You'll get 'iFunded'. I'm not kidding, that "i" acronym really is from Apple's CEO: Steve Jobs himself. And yes, you'll get funded by KPCB to create companies that support iPhone & iPod Touch. This is what Steve has said: "We think several significant new companies will emerge as this new platform evolves, and the iFund™ will empower them to realize their full potential."
- 'Pwnage' iPhone OS 2.0 tool. Never fear on Apple's relentless pursuit to enhanced security measures in the next iPhone firmware 2.0 update. Because the author of the most popular unlock/jailbreak tool for Mac OS X and Windows, “Zibri,” has vowed that his “ZiPhone” utility will work to unlock and jailbreak iPhones running OS 2.0!
- New 'smaller' build form factor. Following the success of iPod Nano & Shuffle, Steve has been led to believe that the iPhone Nano & iPhone Shuffle (pictured right) will also become popular too; especially for extreme mobile users. I'll leave you alone for awhile now, with your drooling bucket. ;-p Hint: are you gonna really believe this one?!?
