Today the folks over at Cupertino are going to show off a few version of the iPhone OS.  Rumors have been swirling around that this will not be a incremental update like the 3G to the 3GS was.  This should hopefully introduce some form of multitasking, among other things.  Stay tuned to techhype.net today because we will be trying to live blog the event.
