iOS 4 Final Release Available For iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G And iPod Touch 3G, 2G

Finally Apple has released iOS 4 for public, following a GM release which was limited only to developers. This version of iOS 4, being of the same build as GM (8A293), supports the soon to be released iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 2G. The iPad version is expected to be released sometime later.

Available as a free download for all, iOS 4 brings in some much-wanted features to iPhone and iPod Touch, including multi-tasking, bluetooth keyboard tethering, organizing apps into folders, iBooks camera zoom, create custom playlists, autofocus for video recording, basic image editing, and so on.

With iOS 4, you no longer need to jailbreak your iPhone just to get multitasking using apps such as ProSwitcher. If you want to jailbreak iOS 4 using redsn0w, then make sure you select the enable multitasking option. For unlockers, we suggest you stay away from iOS 4, which has a baseband update that results in permanent loss of your unlock.

Upgrading your iPhone to iOS 4 is pretty straightforward; simply connect your device to your Computer using iTunes and select your iPhone under the Devices list. Then click ‘Check for update’ in the iPhone summary pane, and you will be asked to download and install the new firmware.
