    First you deny features everyone has. Because 'nobody uses them'. Then after 3 years you hype the features everyone in 2004 already had

    Then if you made a design error you tell your helpdesk to ignore the issue. The phone works fine, but not when you are left handed. But then it isnt a model for left-handed persons.

    But dont worry! You'll get a free bumper for your phone, doesnt matter it ruins the looks you paid 300 USD / EUR / GBP extra for! Since the most important element is preserved, the Apple logo


    When you are left handed, there is no problem But you're right. It's idiotic. What do you mean with that feature though?
  2. it isnt multi tasking either. Just task switching. See the N900 for multi tasking

    Multi-tasking and copy/paste for example. But Gerard's HTC Evo vs iPhone4 makes it all clear


  4. Unfortunately Nokia already said that Meego wont compete with Symbian / Android / iPhone. They'll probably just use it for the 'tablet phones' and maybe bigger tablets.

    Symbian already has a huge userbase and they wont pull the plug in favour of Meego.

    Think my next phone (2012) will be Android


  6. Yeh I noticed it's basically just a quicker way of switching apps. Wow thanks Apple for saving me two seconds

    It's just a real shame it took them so long to implement it in a dumbed-down copy of it.

    Oh yeah, got my iPod going - it was 3.1.3 on it so I'm all good with it.
  8. Multi tasking has its disadvantages, gives you a heart attack when you are remembered you have 6 programs open

    I sort of understand that multitasking is not as important as on the pc, but it is very handy when you are in the train. Open up the special train schedule app, while the GPS fixes your location you have just enough time to navigate to u2start. Instead of waiting before loading is finished you can go back to the schedule.

    This all while you've paused your favourite tv show in the media player.

    But it is a battery killer if you forget to close the apps while the phone is in your pocket.

    it's not that. For example I have a radio-app, I can now keep listening to that station while checking twitter.

    I guess it could be called app backgrounding more so than multitasking then. I'm updating to 4.0 right now...
  11. Think the radio app probably is an interface for some native iOS API. Anyway it works, but it didnt for many years.

    I read about it but not sure whether it'll make it into anything and there's loads of other undocumented APIs that could be some real fun. I'm sure if the hardware is there someone'll get it going without Apple. After all, they got Bluetooth file sending working on it unofficially...which is quite something.
