"One small step of Android, giant leap for iOS" LOL

iOS multitasking is "limited".

Trolling by providing facts? Do you know what is "trolling"? Do you know what is "to provide"? Do you know "anything"? :)

Or into the bay when there aren't a sufficient number of GPS satellites visible to get an accurate position.

By what, faking multitasking?

17. renegade626 (Posts: 54; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)

By multitasking, no... By being able to conveniently be abe to switch between apps and not have to constantly kill tasks snd clear ram like im the freaking rainman of cellphones just so my battery doesnt die half way through the day.. Yes

What kind of Android are you reffering to, my friend, the Alpha version? I don't even have any task killer on my Android phone, nor kill any tasks manually cuz Android does the job.

47. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)

Lol, you don't have to do that. All you do is just swipe away your apps when you're done. It's all in the recent apps menu and is probably the easiest thing to get to on your Android phone running 4.0 onwards. It's a great multitasking system.

so what still not new. doesn't matter if it does it better, besides why would you want to do anything else when driving to navigate. That will be a distraction if you are doing 2 things at one time.

lol, you guys are so ridiculous. I find it interesting that you don't care if it does it better, but who does it first.

As for distractions, obviously you shouldn't be driving and texting/web browsing,etc. but you could be using the music player while driving. People also walk to their destinations. And I have both given directions as a passenger and received directions as a driver. Use your imagination.

29. renegade626 (Posts: 54; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)

Um.. My last post has nothing to do with doing 2 things at once. And it completely matters if they do it better (why else is apple the most valuable company in history?). The article does not say they claim to be doing something completely new. What if this ends up being a way to make people less distracted when using gps because people are going to use it anyway?

mayb the passenger with the driver will be using the phone
