A leaked video of a white iPhone 4 running, what seems to be, an early build of iOS 5 (the operating system that powers Apple iPhone and iPad) or an unreleased version of iOS 4 has popped up on YouTube. A user from Vietnam with the screen name 'tinhtevideo' has uploaded this particular video.

The video shows that Apple may add the much awaited full multi-tasking functionality in the new version of its iOS. Apple had launched limited multi-tasking in the current version of the iOS, where only a few applications could run in the background. In the new interface shown in the video, the current application state is shown as a tile in the multi-tasking menu, rather than just icons in the current version.

This may mean that Apple is going to add full multi-tasking in the new iOS.Previously Apple had said that it opted for limited multi-tasking due to battery life concerns. With the impeding launch of iOS 5 and the iPhone 5, Apple might have actually worked out these issues.

It also looks like Apple will finally launch the long promised white iPhone. The device seen in the video also featured 64GB internal memory, which is double the amount of memory currently available on iPhones. This might indicate a memory bump in the iPhones to come.

Over the past few months there has been a lot of conjecture over the launch of the iPhone 5 which was widely expected at the WWDC (Apple's World-Wide Developer Conference) in June. However, after the Japan earthquake, it seems that the iPhone 5 launch may be pushed back to September as many companies who built parts for the iPhone are reported to be facing manufacturing problems.

In spite of this setback we may still see the launch of iOS 5 at WWDC and probably a bumped up version of the iPhone 4.

In the meantime enjoy the video below.
