[tyranical]

Who the f**k is that little c**t on engadget hugging an ipad.

Is that Revels?

 

[Darren85]

^^ Haha

 

[AK]

When's it start?

 

[tyranical]

it started 15 mins ago.

 

[Darren85]

Multi tasking is on!

Edit: Also change the homescreen wallpaper if your interested lol

 

[Vish]

Tap to focus on video already exists though?

Ooo interesting if multitasking doesn't kill battery and performance.

 

[Darren85]

I'm gonna launch mail, this has a URL -- so I jump to safari -- so I want to go back to mail... I double click the home button and a window raises that shows me all the apps that are running." Like a dock you can call up -- smart!

"And again, I can go home anytime I want. Boom I'm home. Make sense? Really simple UI, puts all the apps at the bottom that are running." You can scroll through the list. "Also, you see the new look of the dock. So that is multitasking. We've been using it a lot and it changes the way you use the iPhone."

Bear in mind that only applications you write will be able to take advantage of the multitasking, you'd have to wait until Apple allows 4.0 submissions before any of your existing apps would work in the background.

 

[Darren85]

OOh folders.. I like that..

 

[James.]

Folders are cool.

 

[m4rkie23]

looks VERY slapped together. that background dock image is HORRIBLE

 

[daydotz]

doesnt sound that ground breaking an bloatly tbh an how long before we can get our hands on it

 

[Darren85]

Summer 2010 No official date as of yet....

 

[m4rkie23]

thats awesome. i need space for 1337 apps on my iphone

 

[James.]

Unified mail, very nice.

 

[Darren85]

Am liking the multi email accounts too tbh


Edit: Attachments! Finally!

iBooks.. Jog on Steve :rasp:

 

[m4rkie23]

 

[sn00p]

Multiple exchange accounts, hurrah. Now they just need to make SLS talk exchange so you can push email from it.

 

[Darren85]

We think customers will really enjoy this. It's a delightful ebook reader. You can buy your books once and read them anywhere." Even Steve doesn't seem that excited about this.

Haha..

[Darren85]

I like the idea of the Gaming Centre and Gaming Network

 

[C.J]

So far there's nothing there that would persuade me to go from JB to 4.0

 

[JR]

Now they are going to increase the ads, nice.

 

[C.J]

I'm not liking the iAd idea tbh.

Sounds like all free aps would have an advert pop up every 3 mins?!

 

[Darren85]

Yeah this is sh!t..

 

[m4rkie23]

 

[m4rkie23]

PMSL

"Demo time! “What we’ve done is mocked up a few ads.” Toy Story 3 ad. “It’s a Disney movie coming out this June… I’ve seen it, it’s really good.” Laughter.” All this stuff is done in HTML5, by the way.” Bigger laughter. Ouch, Adobe."

 

[Darren85]

It is very well implemented onto the iPhone I must admit, but for me iAds is a bit of an iFail moment.. Who knows.. this is good for devs though...

 

[tyranical]

gutted, 3g users miss out on multitasking

 

[Darren85]

This was on the cards tbh..

 

[Munson]

Does it not Annoy u Roy how u have to close down what your doing to reply to a txt then load it up again?

No not really. I'm not saying other people wouldn't find it handy but it offers no added value for me. Safari opens up as it was left, as does the iPod. As long as I can use those features effectively uninterrupted alongside the phone calls and texts, I'm fine with it as it stands.

 

[JR]

No mutlitasking for the 3G then.

 

[m4rkie23]

they better announce some fukin epic stuff when the new phone is announced.

 

[Darren85]

^^ or 2nd Gen iPod Touch.. Pretty obvious it would lack it due to the lower specs in Ram etc

 

[daydotz]

i wont be getting multi tasking on my so called 3rd gen touch because its no different spec wise to a 2nd gen one
