That's a pretty cool way to go about it really. Still bummed I wont be able to use the double-tap to access ipod features while in app anymore. Unless I can assign that to something else.

Icyhot5888d ago (Edited 5888d ago )

You do know that multi-tasking is not supported in the older iPhone models (1G and 3G) and older ipod models (1G and 2G).. MT only will be supported on iPhone 3GS, iPad and Ipod Touch 3G.

I thought they removed the Double tap from IPT 2G after they added physical hardware volume buttons.... Maybe I am wrong.

mrv3215888d ago

Will this multitask be for ALL applications?

What's the deal will double tap?

And hopefully this comes to the iPad.

Icyhot5888d ago

Yes it will work for all apps, at least that is what I got from the things people tweeted during conference. iPad update however will come out in Fall 2010 whereas iPhone and IPT update comes out in summer (possibly with iPhone 4G). Although beta is available for devs now itself.. So one can expect the thing to be jailbroken completely at launch lol.

Fishy Fingers5888d ago

So MT isnt supported on the 3G? That's a shame, I've a 3G and a 3GS, I use the 3G more because it's jailbroken. The 3GS is a work phone so I dont f*** with it much.

3G contract is actually up and wont update until I know whats happening with the whole 4G version that's rumoured.

Icyhot5888d ago

Yup no MT for 3G.. Check vid for more detail

I thought about iPod controls but they could still do it with 3 taps ? Still would be easy.

Elimin85887d ago

I was thinking the same. Or double tap for phone favs, which is where i currently have mine assigned or when it is on sleep ipod.

I'm really loving the looks of the new OS. The only problem is that the iPhone 3GS is pretty outdated now in terms of hardware. IIRC, it uses a 3 Megapixel camera with no flash, whereas the standard is practically 5 Megapixel WITH flash. Hell, the HTC Evo will have an 8 Megapixel camera with twin LED flash.

The processor is also a bit outdated, since a lot of phones now use a 1 GHz processor. To be fair, though, it's integrated a lot better than the processors of other mobile phones.

LeonSKennedy4Life5888d ago

We all got snubbed on the camera, unfortunately. :(

At least we can take video now though. Lol. *sigh*

WhittO5888d ago

Well they still havent give any details on the new iPhone, only the operating system (which im sure will run even better on the new iPhone).

It is rumoured to have double the screen resolution :D

Here's hoping for better battery too.

LeonSKennedy4Life5888d ago

I have a 3GS. I'm excited for this!

jjesso19935888d ago

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake45d ago

lol wut.

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno44d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

SethNW44d ago

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
