Apple have sent out invitations for an iPhone OS 4 event that will take place on 8 April. The message itself welcomes the press to "get a sneak peek into the future of iPhone OS".

Meanwhile an O2 UK subsidiary site leaked one of the new features that the new OS will bring along. According to the price list you see below the iPhone will feature video calls. Now we are not sure if the users will have to rely on the primary camera (as the iPhone lacks a dedicated video-call camera) or it will only work with the expected 4th generation iPhone but we will see about that soon.
