No multi-tasking on iPhone

According to the official iPhone Human Interface Guidelines, which were recently published by Apple, only one iPhone application may run at a time. So no apps running in the background. You’ve got multi-touch but nomulti-taskng.

This will pose some serious challenges for the developers. Since if you use an app, and you get a call, you will lose settings from the previous app. Developers will have to find away to prevent you from loosing important data in such cases. Something like quick-save would work. Apple has not stated whether it will allow special partners to avoid such rules.

Thanks: CdrInfo

    Just repeating info without knowing what it means. You are seriously thinking that this is what “running in the background” means? First time I came across your site — and it’s the last.
    Cheers!

    Oookay another example of idiocy for the poster of a tech site. Why would you lose anything? This is a unix based os. The process will most likely just be suspended. And if it is not suspended, all the app has to do is save its buffer when it recieves a terminate signal and pick up once again when the app re-loads. It will be seamless transition.
