In a keynote today, Steve Jobs and crew introduced the new OS for the iPhone coming this summer. Included in the upgrade are some features that users have been asking for since the very beginning such as multitasking and folders. Other touches of awesomeness include a game center, an improved Mail app and an entirely new platform for advertisement called iAds. These new ads, available straight from Apple for developers to throw into their apps, are a feature-rich multimedia experience coded entirely in HTML5 and they never end the app instance. You stay inside the app and navigate through whatever the advertiser has in store, such as videos, interactive pictures, games, whatever!

If you’re an iPhone user, look for iPhone OS 4 this summer. For a detailed writeup on all the new features, check out Gizmodo’s full coverage.
