Some features like the camera are distictly better! What I can't figure is how they are ever going to catch up in the number of great apps available? Somebody will be able to make a real killing on tools that let app developers quickly release their apps for these different platforms!<br>BTW, Apple is not the inventor of the multitouch interface. They licensed that technology from others. They may have some application patents, but I can assure you that people have been using multitouch zoom on maps and images long, long before the iPhone was a twinkle in Apple's eye. Saw it at several tech expos. They may have a patent, but it never should have been granted (in America) and lawyers can overturn it in the basis of publicly demonstrated technology along with appropriate documentation released to the public. Anyone wanna take on Apple?</p>pogcarrFri, 08 Jan 2010 11:48:49 -0000http://cineoctoboo.com/2009/07/10/iphone-os-30-push-notifications-might-be-killing-your-battery/#comment-13439715<p>I have recently noticed a similar sort of problem. When my iPhone is completely dead, if I plug it into the wall charger, the red battery symbol and the charging symbol come on the screen and stay on permanently; and the phone won't charge! I am thinking that the screen uses more power than the wall charger produces.<br>Oddly enough, if I plug the phone into a computer it will charge just fine. Also, if the phone is not completely dead, the wall charger works as well, I presume because the screen does not stay on the whole time. I think they have a bug in the 3.0 OS related to what is run while the phone is in the "beginning charging from a dead state"-mode.</p>pogcarrTue, 28 Jul 2009 07:07:44 -0000
