More Evidence of iPhone OS 4.0 Already in Testing
Last week we saw the first evidence that iPhone 4.0 was in testing with reports that it was already being spotted in web site logs. We pointed out at the time that while interesting, such user agent logs could easily be faked. This week, we've received slightly more evidence that iPhone OS 4.0 is indeed undergoing testing.
One iPhone developer has since noted a single instance of iPhone OS 4.0 being used in their Pinch Media analytics.
The new operating system first appeared this week in their application's logs. While such data can still be faked, it seems less likely to be. Testing of iPhone OS 4.0 may correspond with reports of new iPhone hardware also being tested. Any new iPhone would require a new version of the iPhone operating system to support the new hardware. Apple is widely expected to release a new iPhone in the summer around WWDC 2010.

Multitasking please :D
Think Apple wants the public to know that they are testing 4.0 in the wild. So damn good at keeping anything that they do under wraps. ::applause::

I guess I don't care unless it is unlocked or at least gets actual reception through some magic antenna thing. And tiered data-use pricing would be fair.
The Google phone will be out then, supposedly, so maybe some competition and an end to the spooning with AT&T.

OK - can this stop? We all promise to accept as fact that Apple is working on iPhone 4.0 if we can just stop being inundated with stories stating the obvious.

Software updates can do amazing things but I think your wish is probably beyond even Apple ;)

What? You can change the iPhone OS Version Number if you have a jailbroken phone.
I might just change mine to 5.0 and setback and wait to see all the stories about it.

One user seems a little odd... I could fake this stuff and go place that one user on any website. I do imagine the 4.0 software is already well under development at this point, but...
Edit: I guess I'm late to the discussion with this observation.
