Too many background apps will render the iPhone slow and annoying (just like Windows Mobile). Maybe they will come up with a way to allow a limited number of applications to run in background so users can have some fun without all of the waiting and lockups that occur when Windows Mobile users load everything all at once.Mark Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032812906985342594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-19955155472309104962008-04-21T05:59:00.000+01:002008-04-21T05:59:00.000+01:00The problem with none jail-broken iPhone apps is g...The problem with none jail-broken iPhone apps is going to be that they can't run in the background, thus effectively rendering a good part of any messenger and telephone software useless. One can only speculate why Apple implemented things this way, but I would be surprised if AT&T didn't have a word in this decision...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
