Apple Releases iOS 6 Beta 3 For Developers
hypnosec writes "Developers of iOS apps have been blessed with another update to iOS 6 around 21 days after an update of the iOS 5 successor was doled out and it contains quite a few new features. The 3rd update, dubbed iOS 6 Beta 3, can now be applied to the existing iOS on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and full downloads are available from Apple's developer portal. MacRumours notes that this update doesn't come with any change list and developers seeing the over the air update get the message that iOS 6 Beta 3 contains some 'bug fixes and improvement.' The latest build contains new options under the Settings application for Apple's latest Maps software. The beta allows developers to customize certain aspects like the volume of turn-by-turn navigation, and whether to measure distances in miles or kilometers, notes Apple Insider."
Android doesn't multitask apps "for real" either, just services.
Bullshit, stupid. You can make use of services to run threads in the background if you want but you don't have to. And unless the developer explicitely overrides the Android lifecycle methods like onPause(), onResume(), etc. your app will keep right on running in the background even if you bring something else up. Please actually know what you are talking about next time before you bring your ignorance.
