You're useless. I get it, you designed a yellow pages app on the cheap. That does not mean your crap doesn't stink.

I've designed more than that.
The iPhone app also still in the top 20, pushing 800,000 downloads."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I will bet you $50 you are wrong? What is that in Canadian bucks, $200?
I have no idea where your intel is, but Mac Rumors tells me full multitasking is here

It can't be full multitasking. MacRumors are idiots. It may be perceived to be as full multitasking by saving an app's state and letting you switch between it and other apps while permitting resource-constrainted background threads to run (eg, a Pandora audio stream), but it's not full-on multitasking like Android and WebOS. At least not for existing devices.
The reason is simple: existing devices are told they can use every byte of RAM available on the device and there's no existing mechanisms for apps to gracefully handle out of memory errors. You can't multitask when both apps expect to use 100% of the RAM on the device."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I'm going to predict on Thursday that Apple will deceptively claim they've brought "full multi-tasking" with an Expose-like feature to the iPhone, and you will claim to be right.
Unfortunately, all they're going to do is save app states on the OS level to grant the illusion of multitasking while adding in the ability for apps to run a resource-constrained background thread for certain tasks, like persistent audio playing or listening for IM messages. It will not, in fact, be running both the IM client and the game you are playing at the same time."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

You're wrong. I jailbroke the thing and multitasking works fine, even with each app supposedly using all available RAM. I can run god damn IM+, ****ing GPS enabled Runkeeper, and Safari all at the same time, with Pandora and a porn app. No problems. There won't be problems. Get used to it.

If you're referring to Backgrounder, there's tons of issues with it and if you've not encountered any of them, you're probably using apps from Cydia and not the App Store."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Look, RAM space is very tight on the iPhone. Developers only have either ~80MB to use (iPhone 3G) or ~190MB to use (iPhone 3GS). Some apps only use some of this, and could be fine with running in the background, but most apps use more than half of that.
It's pretty much guaranteed that the iPhone OS 4.0 will NOT legitimately run 2 or more apps at the same time (which is multitasking). What I'm sure it WILL do is allow you to perceive running two apps at a time (you can "switch between them" which works by saving the app state and swapping it out), and allow the apps to spawn a minimal-resource background thread while it's not active to do things like continue playing audio or listen for IM messages. This is not true multitasking.
It'll also require apps be coded specifically to use it (but perhaps the save-state stuff will work on all iPhone OS 3 or higher apps, but definitely not the background processing part)."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Pre and iPhone have same amount of RAM. I can't imagine why you think iPhone apps use more RAM than Pre apps. Virtually all of the major ones are the same

Pre and iPhone 3GS has the same amount of RAM, but the Pre was designed with multitasking in mind and its app use far less RAM (they're just webpages). Pre apps are designed with multitasking in mind and do not use nearly as much RAM as iPhone apps, in general.Originally posted by Wiglaf View PostPre and iPhone have same amount of RAM. I can't imagine why you think iPhone apps use more RAM than Pre apps. Virtually all of the major ones are the same
The Pre Plus has twice the RAM of the iPhone 3GS. They did that because they realized 256MB was insufficient for multitasking."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

As I suspected Asher is wrong. Kindle app has brightness controls if you tap the AA button. Seriously. Google kindle brightness ipad if you want to keep denying it mad mad mad mad madComment

I'm not wrong -- Kindle is using the private API. Several apps use the private APIs, which technically violate the app store agreements. And you have to be pretty clever to figure out how to use them.Originally posted by Wiglaf View Post
If you can show me where the brightness control is documented in the public APIs, show me. Otherwise shut the **** up.
