1) A background "Service" cannot be run on the iPhone. That means the majority of the ADC I submitted apps wouldn't work on the iPhone.
- Are you sure it's majority of ADC I apps using "Service"??? or 99% of the developer here does not ultilized it? - Service is "nice to have", but it is NOT "much have" in most of the app that I known of. A little twitch will do the job. 2) Apple will only let you onto the iPhone (a) if they agree it's in their best interests & (b) if you give them a 30% slice of the app cost. - Sure, I take 70% of the cut. 1% out 6 million customers that is 60K * .70 = 42000. Oh yeah .... 3)then why are you still in this group? - I'm here to teasing you guys. lol... and see how you guy still crawling trying to standing up after this Google crewup challenge. I'm already 1/2 way of porting my app to iPhone babe, so if you have an iPhone (which I think poor guys like you woun't have enough money to get one anyway). you will see my app on App Store in couple money. Looking forward to see you there ... lol On May 19, 9:19 am, Biosopher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry ConAim but "VERY locked down" is the right word for the iPhone. > > Couple cases in point: > > 1) A background "Service" cannot be run on the iPhone.
