You can't apply it anyway if you have a 1st gen, iOS 4.0 wasn't designed for it at all, or the 1st generation iPhone.

Well, the menu seems a bit zippier too.  And you have to wonder if all of the stuff that they did to get everything to use less resources in preparation for multi-tasking was also given to the 2nd gen, which would explain the zippiness and might mean better battery life.

Unless you have a 3rd gen which gets all the shit 4.0 was made for, then yeah pretty much.

Hmm, apparently updating to iOS4 is making iPhones unable to download data here

And these iPads are quite irritating.  They just don't work.

Best smartphone because it beats the 3GS?


Wrapping up, Pogue writes that if "size and shape, beauty and battery life," and "polish and pleasure" are important to you, the new iPhone is "calling your name," even if the latest Android handsets from the likes of HTC have more "droll-worthy features."


Design, not functionality defines the best smartphone?

Yup - I'd advise against using this update yet. Unless you have a 3GS there's very little point anyway.

If you have done it and it caused problems you can easily roll it back.

Wow, its not even actual multi tasking that was implemented, it was task switching.

But most apps won't do anything except go to sleep, which means one of the classic tricks of multitasking, loading one task while you perform another, is not available unless the developer adds that function under a special task completion API. Some apps, such as Flickr, may take advantage of this feature for large file transfers, but others won't. Waiting for a YouTube video to buffer over a 3G connection? It won't go anywhere unless you're staring at the loading screen.
Kinda silly, takes a lot away from the whole point of multitasking if you cant actually run multiple apps at once.

What bothers me the most, however, is the sloppy implementation of iPhone multitasking. Every time you open an app, it gets added to the tray, and the only way to close it is by pressing and holding any app icon, then clicking the top-left corner of the apps you want to close. If you don't micromanage, the tray quickly becomes overrun with clutter, making it hard to find the apps you really need.

When Apple chief executive Steve Jobs introduced iOS4, he said this: "When it comes to multitasking, if a user has to use a task manager, they (the developer) blew it." I suppose Jobs was referring to Windows Task Manager, which you use when all hell breaks loose on a PC. But taken literally, iOS4 has a task manager too, and all hell breaks lose if you don't use it. This time, Apple blew it.

honestly as long as I can play Pandora in the backround while I'm playing Doodle Jump or anything, that's all I need multitasking for
