iPhone OS 4.0 Announcement by Apple Posted: 08 Apr 2010 12:58 PM PDT New IPhone Operating System by Apple San Francisco, April 8 (DPA):  In its announcement Apple declared a fresh OS for its industry-leading iPhone on Thursday, as it seeks to spoil challenges to its Smartphone superiority from competitors like Google, Microsoft, Nokia & the Blackberry. The new software was announced just days after Apple made headlines with the launch of its iPad tablet computer, and amid reports that the company was planning a smaller version of the device to help boost sales. Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that the company had sold 450,000 iPads since they went on sale Saturday. At the same time users had downloaded 3.5 million apps and over 600,000 books, Jobs said. The new iPhone code, which will be released in the summer, will help dispel the most frequent criticism of the iPhone: that it does not allow multi-tasking – the ability to run more than one application to run at a time. “We weren’t the first to this party but we’re going to be the best,” said Jobs. “It’s really easy to implement multitasking in a way that drains battery life. If you don’t do it just right your phone’s going to feel sluggish and your battery life is going to go way down. “We’ve figured out how to implement multitasking of third-party apps and avoid those things.” Apple also took a clear stab at Google’s hopes to dominate mobile advertising in the same way that it dominates search advertising on laptops and desktops. Jobs announced the launch of iAds, a function that will allow advertisers to buy targeted interactive ads that will feature inside the apps that users activate on their iPhones. It could also reap billions of dollars of new income for Apple, which will take 40 percent of ad revenues, with the other 60 percent going to the developers of the apps. The iPhone 4.0 will also be optimized for Voice-Over-IP services like Skype, so that users can make calls without using their cellular minutes, and also receive VOIP calls when their devices are in sleep mode. Other new capabilities include a unified inbox in which all incoming communications can be accessed, including SMS, voicemails and emails from different accounts. Apple’s newly launched iBooks online bookstore will also become available for the iPhone, with the ability to synchronize page and bookmarks between devices. Apple also announced the launch of a social gaming network for the iPhone, claiming the device had more than ten times the number of games available for traditional hand-held consoles like the Nintendo DS and Sony’s PSP. “iPhone OS 4 is the fourth major release of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system,” said Jobs. “We’re delivering over 100 new features, including multitasking, folders, a unified inbox, deeper Enterprise support, and an iPhone version of our iBooks reader and online iBookstore.”

It is the second huge fraud case next to Bernie Madoff. Petters who is 52 year old now, this 50 years of confinement seems to be like a lifetime imprisonment. But the judge remains unperturbed and penned that Petters does not seem to improve or rehabilitate if law was eased on him. His judgment of 50 long years of confinement came as the harshest punishments for fraud in the history of Minnesota. Tom Petters accomplished this fraudulent saga with the help of his business partners; first of all, they asked huge amounts of money from their customers to invest in their company to buy electronics to trade in with biggies like Costco and Sam's Club. Instead, he streamed down all the booty to his other business. He even used a huge amount of this money to support his luxurious lifestyle. Petters many other accomplices have pleaded guilty for their horrendous crime, but they are still to be sentenced. The FBI and IRS first took notice of Petters and his fraudulent schemes when they actually came to know about the fact his partner Deanna Coleman and co-conspirator had been helping him a multi-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme for almost a decade. And finally in december2009, a session court judge charged him of guilty and sentenced him for the imprisonment for 50 years. Though, Tom Petters judge on a numerous occasions tried to make some sense with the judge to reduce the years of confinement but in vain. He then tried to differentiate between how "taking maoney" varies from "taking life" but the judge remained unperturbed.
