Apple Has Applied for a Patent for the Ultimate Google Android Killer
Verizon Wireless now charges up to $350 early termination fees per phone on your account
similar phone for FREE?
Steve Jobs applied for a patent in 2008 that makes such a device
possible!
The Apple device is paid for by advertising revenue.
Google wants to do the same thing but you have to buy their Android
phones first as Google doesn't make the actual phone itself.
Sieves patent application lists
"Among other disclosures, an operating system presents one or more
advertisements to a user and disables one or more functions while the
advertisement is being presented. At the end of the advertisement, the
operating system again enables the function(s). The advertisement can
be visual or audible. The presentation of the advertisement(s) can be
made as part of an approach where the user obtains a good or service,
such as the operating system, for free or at reduced cost."
The advertisement could appear as:
- a pane on top of any other pane in a user interface of the device
- in a designated area of a background of the user interface
- in a window for an application program
- inserted in content from an application program
- through an audio output of the device; and combinations thereof.
Since the ad is controlled by and sold as part of the OS it could not
be blocked by the end user who avails himself of the free device.
iPhones and similar iTablets could be as common as newspapers once
where. Newspapers generated their income mostly from advertising.
What Steve has done is to have though ahead of where Google is going
with their 'targeted advertising' for the users with the Android
platform and figured out how to patent it before Google could.
Google's advertising is easily blocked and less desirable to
advertisers for that reason.
Score one for Apple
I for one do not want ads on my phone, TV or whatever, but millions
find that an acceptable trade for FREE STUFF.

More to the point, how do you multi-task on iToy?

Actually, iPhone OS /does/ multitask but multitasking is only supported
for Apple's built-in applications.

Your conspiracy theories aside, it's just part of the "sandboxing" of
iPhone 3rd-party aps which protects the device and its data from errant,
badly programmed apps.
Personally, I'm a risk/reward guy- I'd rather have a more capable/less
limited device, albeit one that might be impacted by a badly written app,
but that doesn't make Apple's design decision "wrong"- just different.

I don't need to; I know.
But I don't really need my third party applications to multitask [making
the iPhone perform slower]. I do, however, need third party application
programmers to get API access to the built-in calendar and alarm
database.

How wonderful, in addition to having to deal with FUCKING iTunes and
getting bent over buy Apple, I'll get to watch ads across the top of the
screen. Holy Net-fucking-Zero Batman....

Well, it was important enough for several folks to
comment on. Fortunately, they were not burdened
by Microsoft shitware which fails to properly
implement a decade-old standard. - Sam

Well the good news is your operating system of choice, Windows, has been
plagued with ad-driven shareware and freeware for ages. So you are
likely quite used to the ads by now anyway.

Really?? You'll have to point out the ads in Windows, I've never
seen one other than from some lame-o free software. I've used quite a
few different OSs over the years and don't remember ever seeing ads
other than from Net Zero or AOL.
