One thing I have not seen mentioned anywhere is that iPhone 4.0 make web apps more usable than before, since it no longer reload the web app every time you switch back and forth from the home screen, as long as it's still active in the task switcher.
- timcederman 17y agoWhen does it reload the web app every time? That's a memory limitation, not a task switching one. I've noticed Safari tends to keep loading pages and rendering them in the background.
- sirn 17y agoWhat I meant was web apps that are added to the home screen. Previously it works just like native apps: web apps will need to store and resume its state every time it launch or quit. This cause web apps without manifest file to reload itself every time it launches. In 4.0, it works just exactly like in Safari: as long as the app don't get killed from the task switcher, its state are resumed automatically.
