Multi-Tasking This Summer

[DavidNM]

Apple just announced that the first of seven new features to their OS 4.0 (releasing this summer) is multi-tasking. Apple says it has a way to develop multi-tasking so that it doesn't drain battery life or effect foreground application performance.

Yea... they'll release it to developers for a few months. It will probably be available to the rest of us mid to late June.

[jgorman13]

Eh its impressive stuff but i cant help but want more!

 

[gentlefury]

Are they really spending this much time on iAd? That should have been a separate event...I don't care how corporations are going to disrupt my experience with more advertising.

 

[brobar]

The consumer doesn't care about iAd so much... but us developers do!!!

 

[gentlefury]

NOOOOO!!! iPad version isn't coming till fall!!! Evil!

I know, and it's really important I just think it was inappropriate for this unveiling.
