All iOS 4 Ready Apps with Multitasking Capabilities in One Place

The new iOS 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4) is without any doubt a major update for the iPhone and iPod touch, bringing tons of features like organizing apps in folders, multitasking and so on. The new iPhone 4 will of course ship with this new version of iOS come June 24th (or 23rd for some).

On the iTunes App Store, developers have already started submitting their iOS 4 ready apps, and first of these apps have now started appearing in the App Store, just in time for that big iOS 4 update that everyone has been waiting for.

The most talked about feature of course is multitasking. We all have been waiting for it for a long time now and we have to say that Apple really knows how to get things done the right way.

Here is a list of some of these (new and existing) apps which are ready for iOS 4, with true multitasking capabilities.

Dropbox

Probably one of the useful app on the iPhone is now iOS 4 ready, with complete support for running in the background and app switching. You can now sync or upload files to the cloud in the background to share with others while you perform any other task of your choice at the same time. Awesome for an iPhone isn’t it

Download Dropbox from here.

Evernote

Evernote has to be one of the best note taking app for the iPhone, and now they are taking it further with complete support for iOS 4. Evernote is now fully background aware and now you can record your audio notes while the app runs in the background, how cool is that?

Pandora

Pandora Radio is your own free personalized radio which can stream music on your iPhone or iPad. Pandora was the first app which was demonstrated with multitasking capabilities when iOS 4 was unveiled for the first time. Pandora is also fully capable of running in the background, with iPod music controls widget support in the tray. You can listen to your music from Pandora in the background while you do other tasks like email or web browsing at the same time.

Foursquare

Foursquare is the best way to explore your city and unlock different locations and rewards. According to different sources, the Foursquare app was installed on the iPhone 4 demo units at WWDC 10 and so it supports app switching now and is capable of running in the background but we’re still uncertain what tasks it will perform if it’s background aware. Maybe check in to different places without having to launch the app?
