Soon iphone will have multitasking feature


 I have read Mac Rumors that the team of Steve Jobs apparently serious about it, and soon to other providers of iPhone software (also applies to the iPod touch) in the App Store will allow their programs to run in the background . Currently, only a few applications (all from Apple), such as the mail program or music player.

This would allow it finally possible to use the Safari browser to surf the Internet and at the same time a messenger program such as ICQ and Twitterto have opened. According to Mac Rumors could be the "background feature with a firmware update soon on our current iPhones get indentation. However, with a limit of the background processes to a maximum of two applications.

The problem with the whole story is the little heady battery performance at both the iPhone 2G and the 3G iPhone - especially when one route is via UMTS. Probably, I could not so quickly see how the charge of my gen iPhones by 100 would be zero percent. From a possible loss of speed I will not talk. Nevertheless, I see the way in this case Apple's extremely positive. Perhaps there is soon a new iPhone - with a significant powerful, replaceable battery and a few nice new features more.

Best Facebook Apps



GET the best facebook apps
MyLists allows you to create simple lists and share them with others.

Zoho: You can add Zoho to your Facebook profile; this gives you the power to write all your office-ish documents.

Social bookmarking and networking

Update your Twitter status from Facebook with Twitter for Facebook.

Media

Create your own personal multimedia channel - podcasts, videos, documents, pretty much anything - with SplashCast for Facebook. For example, I was able to find the last 30 or so NPR programs and tweak them into one long-running show - you can also use this to create presentations from .ppt files on your machine and share them with others.


Editing


Edit photos from within Facebook with the Picnik application. You can edit photos from your own 'puter, the Web, Flickr, Picasa, etc.

Use Picasa within Facebook with the Picasa app; you can upload photos, resize them, share images, and more.

Some other interesting ones are

  • (fluff)Friends. This application lets you put a fuzzy pet on your profile that your friends can feed and pet. You need "munny" to buy food for your pet, and you earn it by petting your friends' pets. Horrible. But three people mentioned this application to me.
  • Scrabulous is Scrabble in Facebook. Scrabble is a great social game. Facebook is a great social directory. This is a great idea.
  • E-mail Me Instead, aka Xobni, is a little application for old folks like me who still like e-mail. It gives your profile visitors a quick way to drop you an e-mail, so you don't have to communicate through Facebook.
  • Appsaholic is a Facebook ranking service. No surprise that it was popular at the Facebook HQ. It shows which applications are getting traction, and displays nice charts and graphs of usage
  • Graffiti. If installed, this lets friends deface a small area of your profile page. Most people who mentioned this application didn't like using it, since they found it hard to create good-looking tags on other peoples' pages, but they kind of still liked it on their own pages.
  •  Finally, Flixster is a group movie rating site. After you rate a bunch of movies, it tells you which of your friends you are most compatible with--at least as movie buddies.
