Safari maintains open webpages in RAM until the memory is needed at which point it is written to the drive.

It is one thing to be maintained the memory and another thing to process data and interact with the processor while you interact with another app.
 
Wrong! If you check running processes, Mail is constantly connecting to the server to check for emails. And I'm guessing the iPod app receives texts when SMS isn't open...

Are you defending the notion that ipod, phone, voice recording, internet tethering that clearly work in the background is the same as a connection to a server that open up every 15min?

If you close Safari with a web page open, it continues to use 5mb of processing...I tested it and that means the app is running in the background. Same for Mail and the rest.

Get FreeMemory or Memoryinfo and see for yourself...if it is using memory it is running in the background...duh:rolleyes:

Wrong, you know you are wrong and we all know very well what "working in the background" means.
what is that safari does when supposedly "works in the background" I am curious to find out.

Like I said, get one of the memory apps so that you can SEE for your self what is RUNNING and USING the PROCESSOR in the BACKGROUND. Its not my job to know what is running only that it is and that is why some apps crash because the memory is all used up.

I am done...I am not gonna argue about something so minor. Here is an :apple: to chew on for awhile:D

Actually I'm referring to push and MobileMe. I've never used any other email on iPhone but mail really wouldn't need to be running for something like fetch.
 
Internet Tethering Enabled!

So I was pocking through and noticed that "Internet Tethering" is enabled on my Phone!

Correct.

If something will be running in the background besides what we have talked about that will be the UPNS and that will include the push for apple's mail app (MobileMe) as well.
 
bedazzled!

can't wait to see what they added! i'm crossing my fingers for the final one to come out sooooon!
 
can anyone tell me if the landscape sms is fixed. before when you sent a sms in landscape then put your phone in sleep, when you receive a reply in that conversation after you unlock the status bar would be on left instead of on top... again this is when you unlock while sms is in landscape.
 
landscape sms working properly?? anyone? thats all i want to know. Oh, and does sms come up in search results in spotlight, beta 2 didn't for me.
Thanks!
