Release the iKraken!
- Seriously. Apple just did and it's going to fuck up their competitors pretty bad.monospaced

pretty cool...seems like they're playing "catch up" now though.

Genius .. release features slowly throughout the lifespan of a product, to keep the product fresh.
- Tell people it took a long time because it was difficult, and you wanted to do a really good job.lukus_W
- 'fresh'...for 1998eieio
- I believe Apple.monospaced
- They know how to play it.lukus_W
- They also know how to build it.monospaced
- its so true. it hurts.benfal99
- the multitasking is actually really an elegant solution.spifflink
- ...that was available in zidia ages ago... even for crappy old iphonesmaikel

so do i need the new phone for all these new features or is it a download for my current phone?
- It's a download .. but you'll give up yr jailbreak no doubt.lukus_W
- give up what? what is jailbreak?e-pill
- hmm... really?lukus_W
- yes really, i check on google and i dont use that.. why would you think i would?e-pill
- I thought everyone who owned an iPhone did .. sorry - wasn't suggesting you're a criminal type.lukus_W
- There's absolutely no reason to jailbreak an iPhone.monospaced
- I bet someone will come up with a way to give multitasking to iPhone 3G via a jailbreak version of OS4.lukus_W
- no reason to jailbreak? u serious?Milan

Funny you say that Mimio. They might be catching-up, but they're only months behind, which isn't too bad. Android OS is going to have to play catch-up now that they don't have a ton of features to taunt Apple with anymore.

So does this mean multitasking will be coming to the....*dramatic pause...iPad?
- They run almost the same OS, so I assume it will happen. Let's find out.monospaced

My 3G is sad. :( Oh well Im going to change it soon anyways, wont be an Apple phone though. Time to look somewhere else. :)

iAd .. errrr - well, if there was any chance I was going to buy an iPhone, I think that chance has now disappeared.
- Apple collect 40% - 'industry standard' .. erm...? right.lukus_W
- does that mean you'll stop using the internet too? last i recall it has banner ads as well.spifflink
- I never see any banner adverts.lukus_W
- using adblock? nice! i hate ads too, but you are ripping off the sites that need that income.spifflink
- I disagree.lukus_W
- What would happen if companies that rely on advertising revenue disappeared tomorrow?lukus_W
- the ad companies serving them would get hit hard and most of us in here owuld lose our jobs.spifflink
- well i guess not most of us, just a bunch. its a decent sized platform of apps and sites. those companies would have to charge for contentspifflink
- charge for content. which wouldnt fly.spifflink
- i used to work for company that provided a lot of ad work and infrastructure for sites like that, and we all got laid off for similar user tacticsspifflink
- user tacticsspifflink
- I think the advertising industry is directly responsible for a lot of problems our societies face.lukus_W
- I don't mean to suggest you should be out of a job - but I don't think that advertising is sustainable or just model for growth.lukus_W
- growth.lukus_W
- i agree, and i think companies should be exploring different options and ideas to sustain growth, but it is what it is for nowspifflink
- nowspifflink
- i really don't take exception to apple's approach. its just like other ad supported apps, just more interactivespifflink
- if you want it to be. from what i understand it doesn't pop up without the user wanting it to.spifflink

glad to see my year old 3G is now a fucking brick in apple's eyes.
- that is pretty shadylukus_W
- we're dried up pieces of cat shit to them now.dopepope
- Dude, that shit is old.monospaced
- Cait Sith from Final Fantasy 7 is what we are now..e-pill

see, i've said it before. he's building an army. Apple can take care of the hardware and OS end and make it all slick, shiny and appealing to the public. what they have never had, until now, are scores of developers adding value to their brand through content (apps and games).
by ensuring no outside force inhibits the army's way of learning, and developing (the Apple way), Apple can continue to profit off their hard work. and to incentivize all those hard-working ants, they offer iAds. screw the end-user - they've all been baited in and are brand loyal and sucking up that slick, shiny goodness with each new release. after all, it's business... no, war.
