Controls on lockscreen?

ipod controlls on lock screen. Ie double click home button when locked to access ipod or whatever you've selected.

Negates the point of a 'lock' screen.

They're a bit behind the times when the JB community did all that quite some time ago though. So far none of this is exactly 'new'.

Kinda what i have been thinking. Now they are adding custom backgrounds and multi-tasking. Things that a JB iPhone/iPod Touch has done for ages.

Did the JB multi-tasking drain the battery and performance? Or was it as well implemented as we're led to believe Apple have done it here?

We will see how well it works when it comes. I can't see how it won't drain the battery life more.

And thats why your not an Apple software engineer!

Tons of demos all saying the same bloody thing. They run in the background, we get it!

Will probably take a few days. Can use one account for up to 100 iPhones to install the OS Beta.

4 more to go as well

Background Location! Sweet

Very cool

Was always a big downside that when you left the app it didn't keep tracking

Need to be realistic here tbh...

And what i said about the JB isn't about performance and what not. Its the fact that its been done a long long time ago when it should have been there from the start. Apple could have done it before and built the phone around that to support it.

But now with its already bad battery life, they add multi-tasking. Certainly not a bad thing and im not complaining that its coming, just odd that everyone is going nuts when its been there for near the beginning.

They have to "Hammer" the multitasking message home

meghatronic · 8 Apr 2010 at 18:32

It's not real multitasking is it.

It's not true multitasking.
