One surprise in the iPhone 4 keynote speech was a move away from the typical black home screen wallpaper background. Unless they've jailbroken their iPhone, users are painfully aware that only the lock screen can be customized. The custom home screen background featured in the iPhone 4 keynote speech is featured below.

With the release of iPhone 4.0 firmware this summer, Apple has finally added support for custom home screen wallpaper, along with a new look for the dock.

Steve Jobs revealed some stunning numbers today at the Apple iPhone 4 event. There have been 50 million iPhones sold, and an additional 35 million iPod Touch units. In addition to all of these devices running iPhone OS, iPad sales topped 450k units so far this week.

Sources familiar with pre-release builds of iPhone OS 4.0 claim the operating system will lift restrictions on the multitasking of apps. AppleInsider reports that an interface modeled after the Mac OS X Expose feature would show icons of all running apps and allow the user to switch between them.

In the desktop version of Expose, windows of running applications are reduced in size and aligned so they can all be seen simultaneously. Currently, only a list of native iPhone apps is permitted to run in the background, although iPhone OS is fully capable of multitasking. These apps include the iPod, SMS, Phone, Mail, and Voice Recorder among others.

Kee Utility Incorporated will debut the Desk Phone Dock for iPhone in April at the China Sourcing Fair in Hong Kong. This slick device has an aluminum base and a USB port for syncing built into the rear cord. Just dock your iPhone and you have complete access to iPhone functions .

Browse contacts, listen to the iPod or Internet radio in stereo, and of course make phone calls. Use the corded receiver or built-in speakerphone. The dial is a mute button and volume control. Desk Phone Dock even charges your iPhone while it's docked so when you leave your desk the battery is ready for action.
