Hi everyone,
Apple announced iPhone OS 4.0 today. One of the features it has, is a social network gaming service, that keeps track of your games, your high scores, leaderboards, achievements, etc. This is a pretty exciting addition that I will look at integrating into WI.
They didn't give much detail on how it works or what features it provides, so it isn't possible yet to say what changes will come to WI. It sounds like it is still very much in development. As I hear more I'll post here, or if any of you hear more, please post here.
Thanks. _________________ Warfare Incorporated Development Team |

Awsome, this will probably be pretty cool. Apple never gives out much information about anything, probably to get hype. I just hope the 4.0 update doesn't cost me $10 like the 3.0 did. _________________ Warfare Incorporated Former Head of Administration || Steam username: WINate |

What is that exactly? Please excuse me if it is something that is a very common term and I am unfamiliar, I tend to be behind on those lately. Please elaborate elamre. _________________ Warfare Incorporated Former Head of Administration || Steam username: WINate |

It's a way for developers to make more free apps, because ads will help pay for them. _________________ Warfare Incorporated Development Team |

yep, but guess whats comming? an even more free app store probally, and MORE advertisements!
and its reaally bad. you will even see iAds on your google maps (where the new toy story movie is ie). a big step down. so wont be 4.0OS for me.
and i can already multitask and i already have folders, so reason less. _________________ Hardcore |

I agree, ads are annoying. I predict though that there will be paid versions of the applications, that won't have ads, just like today. I think this only means that free apps get more ads. _________________ Warfare Incorporated Development Team |

its impented. probally easier acces for developers. and maybe a nice "look for games" section. apple does it always better, not inovative though. _________________ Hardcore |

All the new iPhone is, is a jailbroken iphone basically. The only worthwhile aspect is a longer battery life _________________ C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\ImageReady\TargetPreview1\WALK.html
