actually, MrBitch, some of them do, which is why they always bring up Pandora or a streaming music app as the "killer app" for multitasking, and I have to agree with them on only that point, running Pandora in the background while I run Navigon in the foreground would be nice.However, it seems that those are the ONLY killer apps. Most other apps don't need any sort of background process.Twitter Apps? Push notifications work perfectly well.quickly switching between apps and not losing your work in one or the other? the iPhone SDK already supports App Saved States. Plants VS Zombies, Fieldrunners, Facebook, all of these apps save their state upon exit or (sometimes) crash.Perhaps Google Latitude, but i think that is more of a privacy concern on Apple's part. Latitude lets you mark where you are in real time using GPS. Keeping it an App that needs to be launched makes it so you are "basically" opting-in, plus you can shut it off with an easy hit of the home button.
and along with Cocoa, Obj C, Project Builder, we can also use a number of web formats like HTML5, CSS, Javascript, etc.Leveraging the Cache Manifest feature of HTML5, developers can make full, offline web apps. That is what I plan to do with the iPad. I have been wanting to write a point of sale and management program for my Motel on the iPhone, but the screen is just not large enough for it to be workable. The iPad is perfect in that respect.I still find it funny that Apple pushed WebApps for developers and it was bashed for not being native. Then the Palm Pre comes out and everyone bashes the idea of native apps because WebApps were more open.can't win ever
Flash and Java are OS independent platforms that provide a pretty well developed core functionality with considerably easier programability for reaching a wider range of audiences than compiling native for each platform. AS3 is a cinch to get started with and Objective C looks to be fairly easy as well. You could encapsulate the functionality of the iPhone OS in a VM and all of a sudden, anyone can run App Store apps anywhere. The money has been in the App Store for Apple. The iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads provide one revenue stream, sure, but some people spend more on apps than they spent on their device, and even if they don't, they spend a considerable percentage of it's value. There would be great interest in bringing the iPhone OS as a VM to other platforms in much the same way they ported iTunes to Windows.
"I'm sure that will go well."Yeah, Adobe's shareholders would probably vote to remove the current board for pulling out of a large, profitable market. There's no way they'd do that.
lol !! yeah my bad I phone = Iphone ya ah joke man . "I undugg you beause you misspelled iPhone. That's a bad alphaBB"You use spell check @all ?
Do some basic research. I know you think Mac sales would 'logically' have more profit that iPhones -- but you forget that Apple is getting a fairly large kickback from AT&T from every iPhone contract. Thats guaranteed revenue over time.
