iPhone Multitasking in 4.0

[Andromache]

The demand for iPhone OS multitasking is nothing new. People have been looking for ways to do more than one thing at once on their iPhones for some time. For example, let's say you're chatting on IRC in one application, and you want to hop out to check a Web page. Should you have to disconnect from your IRC session just so you can sneak into Safari? Maybe you want to listen to Pandora radio while shopping at the App Store. Should you have to stop the Pandora music?

Watching the Gizmodo liveblog. I'm pretty pleased so far.

I'm not investing in an iPhone until July when my contract is up with Sprint so I haven't been following the details on this. When does 4.0 hit?

[UPDATE] Hot Damn they added unified inbox to their mail app. I'll no longer need to do the hot shuffle between my school and personal accounts!

How much does lucasfilm get for every time y'all say that?

Yep. This will be looked back upon as the point where iPhone 2.0 really started. For the fanatics, it will be the second coming of the Jesus phone. Oh, I'm excited, sure. I'm glad to see the iPhone platform go from being merely useful to truly useful (and even more so once iPhones start being built with multi-core processors). But I'm not going to start with the fist-pumping until carriers stop being ridiculous with their pricing and I can actually afford one.

Talk and browse.

And WTF is up with your CEO:

Finally, if you're a high-bandwidth user of Verizon's smartphone data services, the company will soon hunt you down and throttle you. (The company has long had a maximum transfer limit on monthly data plans.)

Seidenberg: But when we now go after the very, very high users, the ones who camp on the network all day long every day doing things that—who knows what they're doing—those are the—

Murray: It's video, right? I mean, it's video.

Seidenberg: But those are the people we will throttle and we will find them and we will charge them something else.

So much for unlimited data usage...
