What to Expect iOS and iPhone 5
With the iPad 2 out and in short supply, the rumor mill’s attention is now shifting to what we could expect to see in the new iPhone and iOS 5, the next iteration of Apple’s mobile OS. And while the new iPhone 5 is set to arrive some time this summer, a TechCrunch report suggests exciting developments for iOS are coming this fall too.
“Two solid sources” told TechCrunch that Apple is likely to break its pattern of unveiling the latest features for iOS, which is set to move from a 4.X increment to version 5. This would mean that instead of getting a brand-new iPhone 5 this summer, along with a refreshed OS, “a major revamp” of iOS would be introduced separately later in the autumn (read delayed), possibly in September.

Gormaya Updates Apps for Cooks. New App Versions Enhanced for iOS4 and iPhone 4
The TasteTimer series of apps now require a minimum OS of iOS 4. Version 2 of the TasteTimer series take advantage of a new feature in iOS 4 called Local Notifications. The user will now hear and see an alert when the timer has finished, even if TasteTimer is no longer running. This was not possible with earlier versions of the iPhone OS.
This new feature will work on any iPhone or iPod touch that uses iOS 4, including the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 2nd generation (late 2008), and iPod touch 3rd generation (late 2009). Local Notifications are not really a multitasking feature, so TasteTimer will not use battery or memory resources while in the background.
