What do you see in the iPhone 4.0 event artwork?
Apple's iPhone 4.0 sneak preview event invitation features the number four, though its shown in the corner, mostly cut off, identifiable only by its shadow.
The iPhone 2.0 event featured a road map apropos of the SDK introduction. The iPhone 3.0 event featured blueprints, perhaps a nod to the construction going on within the OS.
What then to make of iPhone 4.0's artwork? Dieter stared at it for a couple minutes to glean what he could and came up with this: the 4 is in the background. Shadows are typically in the background.
Are we reading too much into it? Are you reading something different? Share your best guesses in the comments!

Hey, assholes, this is about OS 4.0 not the 4th gen iPhone. You can't add a camera flash or HD screen with an OS.
@autofocus...you can already do have a different focus point with the 3gs camera by just tapping anywhere on the screen.
I personaly think it willbe amazing ....ยก
Well, theres not much going on here, just a cut off four and it's shadow with words saying a sneak peak at the "future" of the OS. My take on it:
I'm guessing their aiming to surprise everyone, every other pic had a meaning, this seems really simple, maybe they perfected the true iPhone OS because there's no hint of "planning" or just taking it and turing the whole world upside down with something ground-breaking. Well, IDK, we'll see Thursday.
well to me the thing making the 4 cast the shadow is android,palm, and htc. i'm sure the os is getting multitasking. but it's steve jobs no one knows what he has up his turtle neck sleeves.
I think all you guys are idiots.....this is a stupid topic and nothing is to be derived from that photo.
I see the invite as saying that OS 4 will leave everything else in it's shadow. Sorry if somebody said that already.
I hope it means 4 me! Meaning personalization with themes, tones, multitasking, better mail and calendar, widgets (weather with real temps, news and SPORTS WITH A LIVE SCORE, and a better freaking home screen that isn't so boring! And maybe, just maybe, there will be a way to hide icons or just folders to put them in. I love my iPhone, but come on. These things should not be what we hope for. If these things to not come with the new 4.0 then I'm convinced that apple has played me like a fool. If all we get is multitasking and some lame new way to do something different(like shake to erase all or shuffle songs) then I will be the first to sell this device. They have the ability to give us what we want and they feed a little to us at a time like we are some freaking children in high chairs and then try to sell us on the next hardware upgrade. I'm sick of having this great device that can't do the things I want it to do. If apple doesn't deliver then I will just cut the strings off this puppet.
@Mitchell Not stupid. Just not repeating the same thing that 100 other people have already posted. It's called sarcasm, look into it.
@J-Rod shut up
So much for the artwork meaning anything. They just have another blueprint on the apple website now.
