What for. I've already corrected you.

multitask is a word to define a set of techniques to give you the impression of running more than a task at once.. so is not an exotic computer-term, is an abstraction and can be used many ways.

The most important techniques are the scheduler of the OS which maintains the priorities of the processes (not apps) and another one, the processor context switching (saves the registers of the process for latter restore). there's also the processor threading and multithreading, vm, pagging, ...etc.

when i said Connectivity Multiasking i want to refer to the switch that we do between two internet dependable apps to do something (or correctly speaking the iphone OS scheduling its processes and/or threads when in background of these apps).

You can already switch between a call over one more app, for example that's cool. Isn't cool that you cant do that over an Im app and contacts for example..
 
For some unknown reason. Tech Crunch has rounded-up a bunch of Pre reviews and edited out all the good bits.

What remains might leave one with a negative impression.

Wow...why would a website be inclinded to do that?


Seems very ametureish to me. Like even if a website only listed the positivies of the Pre.

Why mislead people like that.

What's wrong with that? A lot of blogger reviews are sugar coating the Pre with their reviews. Leaving a lot of issues out of the reviews.
 
Trust me, the Pre won't last as long as you guys think. I guarantee by the end of the year we will barely remember it.
 
I don't understand what the big deal is, or why people get so up in arms. Competition is great news, Apple may not respond on Monday but they will respond at some point which will make the iPhone better and will make every other smartphone out there better in the long run. A market full of solid smart phones is good for the consumer, not bad and no reason to get so feisty.

Well said.

Anything that intensifies competition in this space is great news for consumers.

The success of the iPhone provoked Palm to completely re-engineer its handheld OS and come up with something fresh and innovative.
And in turn the Pre will stimulate a response from Apple. Palm's new device has not "owned" Apple outright, but the Pre is brilliant enough to provoke Apple to carry on improving the iPhone. This is all good.

It's more disappointing that neither Microsoft or Nokia have responded with anything like the same level of zeal.

Um real reviews? None of them left out issues. WHere do you think this guy got the whole list of issues? From reviews.

Its just when you put it in a blog post....good journalism would also have a post of just the positive things....right now, it just looks like they want to make the Pre out to be a bad experience.

Trust me, the Pre won't last as long as you guys think. I guarantee by the end of the year we will barely remember it.

Yeah ok....i'm going to quote you on this. In my sig....we'll see how that turns out.
 
I doubt it will stimulate apple nothing really does.

Why would Palm stimulate Apple to do anything. Palm can't even build their own Phone internally. They had to hire a disgruntled Apple Exec and disgruntled ex engineers. Thats why this quote is so laughable.



"We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone," Ed Colligan apparently laughed about with John Markoff last Thursday morning. "PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in."

Slappy...whats with your Palm Pre hate?

Honestly...all you do is talk crap aobut it. Does it make you feel better about your iphone?

Are you mad that ex apple employees work there now?

What are you so upset about with the Palm Pre?

I would really like to know.....take your time...
 
A friend of mine is lined up to get a PRE as soon as they come out and I'm quite excited to spend some time checking it out!

My prediction is that I'll still prefer the iPhone at the end of the day.
 
What's wrong with that? A lot of blogger reviews are sugar coating the Pre with their reviews. Leaving a lot of issues out of the reviews.

Just like those same blogger reviews for the Jesus Phone (ahem) iPhone?

Give me a break dude and step away from the kool-aid. The fact that these positive reviews for the Pre are "getting your panties in a bunch," shows a lot.

Is it impossible to believe that there are other companies other than Apple that can build good products? Or, do you want Apple to start selling furniture and groceries b/c you think Apple is so superior to everyone else?

Blasphemer! Blasphemer! ;)

Ha! My Apple fan card just burst into flames and my iPhone just exploded for saying that.

I think back to my college days and man I was of the mindset that Apple was the best and I would get defensive as well. Having had some more time (and years to grow up) I have come to love all tech and see the advantages of each offering out there, even Windows (I love Windows Server 2003 and 2008). Though I do prefer UNIX over Windows, hence the Mac (Solaris is the flavor of UNIX I prefer) But I digress . . .

Your just as guilty as I am. Anyway my post is so spot on. Palm can't do anything without the help of ex Apple employees.

If your post is spot on, then one could say that Apple can't do anything without the help of ex-IBM employees (Recent Example: Mark Papermaster). However, in the tech world people tend to shift from company to company and some leave Company A for Company B to do something that they wouldn't be able to do at Company A.

Palm has needed to reinvent itself in the mobile market and the best way to do that sooner rather than later was to hire ex-Apple employees to help. That's what has happened.
 
Just like Apple couldn't do anything without Next, Soundjam, or Fingerworks?

w00master

Which Jobs ran and Soundjam was for the Mac only. Fingerworks outright acquisition.

Palm?

Yeah right.

Go back farther why don't you.

And don't come back and say Xerox showed Apple how to create the Mac OS. Apple did 90% of the work for the first Macintosh OS.

Did you even read the link for Papermaster? My guess is no since the announcement of his hire was in November of 2008 and he was not allowed to start work until April 24th, 2009 due to a non-compete. My example was recent here are links for Apple's announcement of the hire and the eventual settlement of the non-compete.

Your misdirecting this. You wanted to point out the past, I gave it back to you.
