I was talking about running Hackintoshes, not prereleaes of IOS4.

And I really hope Cisco sues them for stealing that name or something...

I read that they just paid them a bunch of money to license it. I personally still hate the "i" names, but doesn't look like they're ever going away.
 
I installed the first beta release and it destroyed my wi-fi connectivity. I'll wait for the offical release at this point.

That's what I heard too. I wonder why. Hardware wise the 2G and 3G are identical. Same CPU and RAM, same innards entirely AFAIK other than the 3G chip.

Well in any case someone already released a version of it that runs on the 2g. I believe its jailbroken as well.

Surfing over 3G on the iPhone 3G with iOS 4.0 while listening to music is really painful.

1) Music skips. This makes the iPod functionality almost unusable on this beta version.
2) Page rendering takes forever. Well, it took a long time before too, but now it seems even worse.
 
I thought multitasking wasn't supported on the 3G?

Oh, nevermind, I guess you meant using the iPod feature, not Pandora or something...
 
Yeah, AFAIK multitasking with the iPod functionality has always been supported, even with the original iPhone with its original OS.
 
Multitasking is somewhat annoying. Everything you open is put into "sleep"mode. What Apple should have done was copy what they did with the multitasking in jailbroken phones where you hold down the home button a little longer to enable it but a quick tap quits the program.

Having to go into the multitasking dock and quit everything over and over is annoying.

So are you noticing significant battery drains from using it the way Apple has it implemented?

I would think if you aren't, then why be paranoid and manually close out of everything?

Yea, that is the one thing I can see myself not liking about multi-tasking as it stands in ios.

I guess if the battery hit is non-existent then there really is no need to worry if the multi-task 'bar' gets loaded with tons of apps, because you will almost always just be jumping between 2 or 3 apps, and you can always launch an app from the regular home screen so you dont have to scroll through the multi-task launch bar.

I think my battery life has increased overall.

You are right, it is more of an annoyance because the multi-task bar gets full.
Same with 12 item folders.

Love the way multi-tasking and folders are implemented but with the two tweaks I mention in this thread they would be 10x better.
 
Once someone tries it, can you see if the default useless programs(Clock, Compass, Notes, etc) can be deleted? If not, the folders will be nice.
 
Can somebody who has downloaded it tell me the build number?

<edit> n/m looks like it's 8A293, same as the GM Seed, so there is no update for me.
