[/qb][/QUOTE]Jailbreaking won't solve the shortcomings of the OS itself. Multi tasking on the iphone is not 100% multitasking because of how the OS is written. Iphone OS actually pauses the unused application while you switch to another application. This is also the reason why Iphone OS4 will never be able to have multiple live updates on multiple live screens. Android has true multi tasking ability that allows all open applications to be running at one time. Iphone OS4 will not support flash even after jailbreaking. Either Steve Jobs holds a grudge against adobe or it just can't be supported by the OS. HTML5 is up and coming but flash is widely used. As far as apps go Iphone does have the advantage because it has been around longer. But, within the short period Android has been around it has taken that market share by storm. Any app that is of any importance already has an Android equivalent. Android is open source and the marketplace is open to all unlike Apples regulated marketplace. Iphone 4G will be an awesome phone and it will be one of the best handsets to date. But it's OS is nowhere near that of the Android. [/qb][/QUOTE]yes, the flash portion really sucks with any apple product since many websites are running flash but id be willing to sacrifice a bit here and there. is your iphone jailbroken? as far as i know it when u run backgrounder the apps running in the background update so not sure about that limitation u mention. with android, are you able to gain free access to bootleg apps or are you limited by purchasing through an apps store? obviously, i dont have an android so just curious as to what limitations u have w/ apps. [/qb][/QUOTE]My iphone is jailbroken. I've actually have gone through at least 10 iphones as a tester for a Dev team. Iphone has developed a "multi task" solution in which it created 7 services which could run in the background. But that is why I say it's not a true multi tasking, computing-like experience. Apple basically let 7 most basic task/services and allowed users to switch between them. The rest of the services that don't fall into these categories will pause while you open another service like it does now. On your iphone right now try uploading a picture to photobucket and in the middle or beginning of it switch out and open application. That upload will pause while you open the other app. In Iphone 0S4 it will do the same if it's not one of the 7 services. Their solution will work and it's design is clever in a way that it will conserve resources but marketing it as true multi tasking like Apple is doing is a lie. Android has a jail break and it's called root and custom roms. It has the same type of marketplace and boot leg apps. The difference is the sheer number of apps in the Iphone marketplace.
