OS4 thought we were going to be able to set ringtones from our music

Not that I'm aware.

Quick question about the 4.0 GM. Once 4.0 is released publicly, can I restore my phone as normal to that version through iTunes?

Yes

Would it be a good idea for me to sign up for £15 simplicity card this week and when i get new iPhone next week transfer it over to the micro sim online?

Any idea anyone?

I've reserved a 16GB from an apple store but I didn't get any confirmation via email. What do I need to pick it up from the store?

I have a mini sim, last time i looked it was the same size as the one in my old 3210.

yes the 3210 takes a mini sim. Fail too see how that is at all relevant?

Those with ios4, I've been testing multitasking and I remember steve's demo where the game pauses and restarts. Angry birds does not do this, it exits completely, so I take it that it's not supported on all apps?

You've been able to do that in iTunes since forever...

Its funny that programs like backgrounder can do this on the current generation without any problems, yet programs have to support it in iOS 4 !

The app has to register against the multi-task services.

Grrr, can't sell my 3GS 32gb. Now down to £325 and I still can't shift it. No way am I losing more money sending to a recycling scheme, it's in mint condition!

Mine's mint (well so it should be given it's a warranty replacement I've only had a week!) and has AppleCare until June 2011 and the O2 unlock, I haven't bothered selling it yet but once I've got an iPhone 4 in my hand I'm just gonna stick it up for a quick sale at £300. CBA with eBay these days!

I'm sure it will take an update for each app to support.

 

[GTA767]

ok reserved 2 iphone4 16 gb. on 24 i will get them on regent street... i hope i will get both of them

 

[geekyEd]

Ok so my question was: is a "mini sim" as you put it, the regular sim we have all been using for the last 10 years?

Thats how relevant it is, why talk about mini sim when you could just say sim card?

The problem is that the app needs to tell the device that it supports multitasking and then support the different changestates that are fired at it. Not many apps will support this from the get-go and will need updates to support the feature.

It's not a hard thing to implement in any form of the imagination, but it's gonna take a while for everyone to update their apps and get them through the approval process as im sure apple are getting pounded at the moment.

The way backgrounder works is to tell the app that it's going into sleep mode which is a changestate thats already included in most apps, thats why it appears that backgrounder supports it and the new multitasking doesn't.

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

Yes not many apps will be background supported yet. Give it a month n most of your apps will be ready for updates.

Guess I'll just have to wait while the android fans laugh
