A new video posted online has revealed the new “iPod Out” functionality of iPhone OS 4.0. Shown briefly during last week’s iPhone OS 4.0 event, on a slide naming some of the software’s new features, the “iPod Out” feature wasn’t described in any detail, nor is it mentioned on Apple’s iPhone OS 4 preview page. TUAW reports that the “new application” displays a simplified, Click Wheel iPod-like interface for controlling music playback, with the entire menu system fed out to an external monitor. The report also states that the app contains iPod Accessory Protocol strings, suggesting the app might be meant for in-car use. Continue reading to watch the video in embedded form.
