Re: PR 1.2 screenshots

Why oh why are you still talking about the iPhone on a thread about 1.2 screenshots. Please do as mentioned on previous post and take you iphone winges to a more appropriate place!!!!!!

Re: PR 1.2 screenshots

We want those screenshots! :)

err yeah, cos its still an iphone, no buttons, totaly crap apps, no kbd, and my mates would give me a real hard time if i pulled a girly icrap out of my pocket:rolleyes:!

Yeah looks like the main applications are diplayed on one page and all third party software is accessed under one icon. Presumably it will display another page with all third party apps.
I wonder what Nokia is calling third party apps? Does the Ovi store come under that. Is it just the preinstalled apps that will be displayed on main page and every other app you install will go on the second page?

The correct translation is that now the icons are now all in one page instead of two. (Prior to PR 1.2, you have to press the "More" button to access the rest of the installed applications.) And if the user wants to place the icons in different pages, she will have to rely on third party apps such as "Catorise".

It's a bit more complicated than that.

If you register your app to one of those 7 services they identified, than your app will not be killed by iPhone OS 4, just suspended in RAM and the OS will take care of waking it up to handle incoming input (that's what the services are for; for example Skype incoming TCP socket is handled by the system that will know when to wake Skype app up to let it handle incoming messages or calls).
If you do not register to one of those services, than you app, again, will not be killed by iPhone OS 4, but rather put in suspended mode again and only killed if RAM is needed (like Android thus).

In suspended mode you get no CPU time at all, battery consumption will not be touched and if the user switches back to your app, it'll be there.

Of course the app will get a message saying it's going to be suspended so that it has time to save the state in case it would be later killed to free RAM.

This is different than N900 (pure multitasking) and Android (app continues to run in background, but can get killed if it is less used than the others when more RAM is required).

Both N900 and Android provide better multitasking experiences, but this can and will slow down the system in case there are too many and affect battery life.

But, again, I'd rather control this myself than letting Steve do it for me.

What N900 COULD do is to kill/suspend last used application WHEN the load is too high (and thus is badly affecting the user experience with the phone).
This would mean the best, to me, multitasking experience.

I suspect a similar behavior is already present in Maemo but only when RAM is going low. No one remembers the "Zzz" symbol that appeared on N800 running apps when free RAM was low?

Ovi store! Ovi store! Ovi store!

Re: PR 1.2 screenshots

So from what I understand (google translated english) the PR 1.2 FW will let us overclock to 1ghz and it would be stable? or did it mean PR 1.2 will increase the frequency to 1ghz as part of the FW? (I highly doubt the latter though).

Re: PR 1.2 screenshots

Overclocking is definitely not part of any official Nokia release.
