Running the new iPhone OS on an old iPhone 3G
Users of older iPhones and iPod touches don’t get the best features of iOS 4, the new iPhone operating system. But we do get a few new goodies.
The big new feature of iOS 4 is multitasking — the ability to run selected applications in the background while doing other things in the foreground.
But don’t get too excited, my fellow iPhone 3G users. We don’t get multitasking. The processor in the 3G just isn’t powerful enough. Same thing for the iPod touch G2, which is pretty much the same device as the iPhone 3G, without the phone parts.
