Yeah it's like polled IO vs interrupt driven IO. I am interested in this new paradigm for the iPhone os. I wonder what types of apps they are leaving out of the background multitasking? It seems like they have gotten most of the use cases down but when you limit it there usually is one glaring use case that was not thought of.
- kalid 17y agoYeah, the neat thing about Apple's strategy is that they've allowed 150k individual apps to flourish already. They can look at the APIs they provide and say "We handle 80/90/95% of the tasks needed by these apps". It's real-world customer development, based on actual requirements, vs. forecasting what people might want. There might be a missing use case, which will then appear in OS 4.1 next year :).
