Is that the full standalone Safari or an embedded Safari within the twitter client? It looks like an embedded browser within the twitter client.
On my iPod touch, if I left my twitter client to go to Safari, I could not come back to exactly where I was in tweetdeck. But I have not tried 4.0 in this regard.
- siglesias 16y agoIt's a fully functional browser that loads from the app, yes. All developers have this at their disposal. This isn't a problem precisely because apps rarely need to "leave" to display a browser. One just comes in modally, displays the content of a page, and that's that. If you were using a Twitter client that yanked you out of Twitter to show a site, you were using a bad client.
- akmiller 16y agoThen I want to email the link to that page, so I have to open the full Safari, then do the email link which opens my mail client, then close the mail client which goes to my home screen, go find my twitter app and open back up to pick up where I left off! I like my iPhone but it has it's flaws just like any other device.
- awolf 16y agoNah, Tweetie (the iPhone Twitter client in the screenshots above) also has a built in email client for sending links. No need to leave the app. And yes in iOS 4 if you DID need to exit the app it would be in the state you left it when you returned.
- siglesias 16y agoYou're wrong. http://yfrog.com/1ssz0p http://yfrog.com/1ssz0p This is a free app. It's up to the app's designer and isn't endemic to the device or OS, unlike the inexplicable permanent presence of a physical back button on Android devices.
