Okay, from the sitcom FRIENDS, "shooting blanks" means erm... awkward really...

It means attempting to get your wife pregnant, and failing.

to those of you who know:
Chandler to Joey : "we've [we as in him and monica] done it so many times, I just keep shooting blanks"
Yeah, I remember that episode. That's a pun on the actual meaning. Think about it. :lol:

Hey, did you watch the event?

LOL! You expect a detailed change log from, of all companies, Apple? And that too for an unreleased piece of software? For the iPhone? They don't even give details for their software updates for Mac OS X. :p


Eh ? Obviously I wasn't expecting a change log from Apple atm :| I was searching for a changelog from those Developers who have it.

And anyways Apple does release a changelog for all its previous iPhone Software Updates....the features and changes are mentioned during every iPhone Update through iTunes !

My my! I think its better if people do not reveal their preferences in public, howsoever apparent they may be. :)

Coming back to the topic, I'm back to using what phones were initially meant to do. I got a second hand Nokia 8310 off ebay, and have been using it happily since! (I wasted 9k early in 2007 in a Nokia e50 which conked in an year)

I think multi-tasking support will eventually come to the iPhone, as 3rd party apps have come. I was surfing the web in class (yes I get bored in lectures) using my friend's iPhone. It was quite slick, though they could improve on a few areas. The music/video features were super!

still offtopic : Wow. Me Too!

Back to topic:

@mail2and, How can you add multi-tasking? That would pretty much require a firmware overhaul, wouldn't it?

I know that the PSP added on pseudo-multitasking [i.e. listening to music and looking at photos] but full-fledged multi-tasking would definetly be quite difficult.

Multi-Tasking is already there :| You can Listen to Music, Surf Web or watch Photos at the same time !

Most applications available now like Apollo, Dock, etc which do require running in the Background all the time are not Closed when Home is pressed. There's an option to override that setting which Apple has forced.

So Multi-Tasking is pretty much already there on the iPhone......

Nooo.. one day it will connect wirelessly to a device attached to your spectacles that will virtualize a 42" screen visible only to you. :-D

Think future. Think Big. :p
