Reports/rumors are circulating that Apple is planning to include multitasking in its iPhone 4.0 OS. Will the Cupertino giant backtrack on its claim that users don’t need to be able to run more than one app at a time?
First, to the rumor. Here’s how AppleInsider describes its sources:
People with a proven track record in predicting Apple’s technological advances tell AppleInsider …
OK, a prediction. Was a crystal ball involved?
There’s more …
… that the Cupertino-based company has developed a “full-on solution” to multitasking on the iPhone OS but offered no specifics on how the technology would optimize resource conservation and battery life — two of the most critical issues surrounding the matter, alongside security.
So, no details … OK, just so we know what we’re dealing with here.
Do you want multitasking on your iPhone?
