Apple Announces iPhone 2.0 Software Beta

If its not doing optimum work but sitting idle then that is more wastage of battery!

I hope you know that 100% CPU uses more battery than 10% CPU. At least that's the way it works on a notebook...

 

[aryayush]

Exactly.

 

[gxsaurav]

How'r you going to multi task on such a device? What possible uses could there be for multi tasking? Rendering 3D scenes while you begin coding a website? The screen is so small, the battery life is important, and the processor isn't a C2D. The fact that you can go right back to where you left an app is multi tasking enough.

Even a K850i is better now, running Opera Mini to browser website while chatting on Morange....

iPhone sux even more now...

Lets see...according to Apple

1) JAVA sux

2) Video recording sux

3) changing ringtones sux

4) Multitasking in mobile phone sux....

5) Flash Sux

So why should someone buy iPhone? & not an iPod touch + Nokia N82/SE K850i

Oh wait...if you buy Nokia N82/K850i you don't need iPhone.

Which you can do on the iPhone too. You can surf in Safari while chatting in AIM or any of the other IM clients that turn up later.

Don't temme you need a 600mhz proc. to display webpages on safari! When you haf that much of processing power its better to use it (obvs. not 100%!) rather than waste precious cpu cycles coz each cycle consumes a discrete amount of power.

I know Apple is not foolish to throw in a 600mhz into the iphone. Wait and watch, multi-tasking would be out soon!

 

[ring_wraith]

Yes, and you can do that on the iPhone. It's the best iPod the company's ever made, for God's sake. The last thing that should be an issue on it is listening to songs.

It's so ironic that it's sound quality is worse than most SE walkman phones. I don't get it, why doesn't Apple care about the SQ of their highest selling product?

Well, if iPhone "quits" the application then it must be saving the application state in memory, means memory is being used, means battery is also used, so this implementation is wrong to say that it saves batter life.

In K850i's method, u use both of them at the same time lie 2 application in an OS which u can switch with by Alt+tab

u forget flash

Any idiot will tell you that it saves battery compared to the traditional approach of having them both running at the same time.

So can you on an iPhone.

The Programmes that are created will be available EXCLUSIVELY via a new Service on all iPhones called Apple store
This aspect may discourage some Devlopers.

So, do you want that every developer in the world should have the power to deploy their applications onto the iPhone? That's just asking for trouble.

What happens when someone writes a malicious application or one that keeps crashing constantly? Non-iPhone users will be the first ones to raise Hell.

its not exactly running but sleeping while it gets a chance to proceed to Process Manager.

Dont u think i/o will increase as saving and restoring states

 

[infra_red_dude]

Quitting and Restoring states has more overhead than minimizing. There is no doubt it.

 

[gxsaurav]

Same battery use, only where it is used is changed.

So, do you want that every developer in the world should have the power to deploy their applications onto the iPhone?

Yes, how else will be an Open Platform with choice.

Anyone can program a simple application for Windows mobile phones in .net mobile frame work 2008. It will also work flawlessly in Symbian OS

What happens when someone writes a malicious application or one that keeps crashing constantly?

Isn't iPhone based on OS X which is supposed to be very secure.

 

[aryayush]

Which is why it sucks.

I don't want an open platform. I want a platform that works.

Isn't iPhone based on OS X which is supposed to be very secure.

That's because such security measures are put in place beforehand.

 

[goobimama]

@Ani: I have no idea about how processors work actually. I'm just basing my arguments on how the battery life works on a lappy or something.

 

[gxsaurav]

Which is why it sucks

I don't want an open platform. I want a platform that works..

Wait, Windows Mobile, Symbian, A200, MOTOMGX isn't working???? I sincerely ask for who it is not working, plz tell me.

Let's see, according to Apple

1) JAVA sux

2) Video recording sux

3) changing ringtones sux

4) Multitasking in mobile phone sux....

5) Flash Sux

6) Good Quality Camera sux

Lets see...according to Arya

1) More features in anything sux

2) Screen in a DAP sux

3) Anything non-Apple sux

4) Customising the OS sux

5) Custom applications sux

Seems to me, if Arya was CSO of Apple, he would have stopped 3rd party developers from making apps for Mac, cos they are not made by Apple.

Thanx, you gave me a reason to smile today...

 

[narangz]

I had a wonderful time reading the thread

Thank you all

 

[iMav]

u know what i will say the same thing that i told arya and goobi the day of the launch in conference:

iphone has a great way to go .... for starters it still hs a far to way to go as compared to my 6600

 

[aryayush]

Tell them what followed: Everyone in the chat room started laughing like crazy.

In other news, the Pulsar DTS-Fi has a long way to go before it can come close to my sister's Barbie tricycle.

well it [6600] does record video....

What does "FOCI" stand for? "Full of Crappy Information"?
