Apple will hold a special invitation-only event that will allow attendees to “Get a sneak peek into the future of iPhone OS” this Thursday, April 8.
The special event is scheduled to be held at 10am PDT in Apple Town Hall in Cupertino, CA.
As usual, we plan to present live coverage of the event on Thursday.

AMOS, aka Apple Mobile Operating System!
OSiP
Dang mAc-warrior, you’re post wasn’t up when I sent mine lol
iTouch OS
The name is fine. It is the iPhone OS. Just like iTunes is iTunes.
@Big Als MBP, just add “Ultimate Professional” and you got it.
@chrissyOne yeah iOS, as in, “iOS a lot of money to Apple for all these devices!”
IOS is what Cisco calls their router OS. Mac OS X Mobile sounds too much like Windows Mobile. I like iMOS and AMOS except it sounds like moss
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” /> Apple Touch OS ?? Hmmm I like it!
I think it should build upon the “MobileMe” brand. That or something elegant and fast, like “Hummingbird.”
New name of the iPhone OS? How about iMotateOS or iTravelOS or iMoveOS or iPortOS or iRaptureOS
Yes! itShouldOfHadTwoCameras OS
just my $0.02
It will be interesting to see how Apple implements multitasking. It will have to work well and preserve battery life. It will be interesting to see how they do that since no one else really has. It will also be interesting to see what the backward compatibility will be. My guess is this will be for 3G and up only. It will be time in June for all those Gen 1 holdouts to upgrade anyway.
As for the name of the saoftware, Mac OS X Touch.
As for third-party multitasking, I want Last.fm to be able to scrobble using ANY form of audio app, including those that stream terrestrial stations.
That would kick much ass.

iOS X
OSX lite?
Kinda weird that they call this version 4 after only three years on the market. It’s not too much different from the first version. All they have done is sprinkle in features that should have been included in version 1.0.
Maybe Mac OS 11 will be the same OS across all Apple products in two years.
OSXM.
@ Geo B
Cisco also had a device called the iPhone, but somehow Apple worked out a deal for that name. Property can be traded, and Apple has a significant savings account.
@ mvalia
The first year of iPhone OS was Ver. 1.
We’re entering the 4th year of iPhone existence this June.
So version 4 is appropriate.
@ TheConfuzed1, I like Touch OS.
So Apple has Mac OS, and Touch OS.
how about iP OS

The shortest simplest way of describing the OS that runs on all its devices. iPod, iPhone, iPad, iWhateverawesomethingthiscompanycreatesnext
iPhone OS : call it “iOS”. Or “Apple OS”. Or “Mobile OS”. “iPx”.
Anyway, with the next “Mac OS”, the two platforms will be (re-) unified. Mac OS X 11.0 = iPhone OS x.0 = “The OS”.
Apple Mobile Device OS Series 4 Student Edition
Apple Mobile Device OS Series 4 Folk Edition
Apple Mobile Device OS Series 4 Enterprise Edition
Apple Mobile Device OS Series 4 Super Gold Edition
“Touch-OS”?? sound too much like “touch us”???
Apple Mobile Computing Operating System Series X Version 4 With a Cherry on Top.
Oh wait, that’d be someone else.
Yeah, iTunes Store needs to be iMedia Store and iPhone OS needs to be iMobile OS or something. Too late.
Branding. It’s hard.
Cisco’s IOS is upper case, so Apple could probably go with iOS, plus they may already have a deal with Cisco after iPhone that covers iOS too. And besides IOS is for networking equipment, iOS would be for mobile devices
