Apple asks (demands) developers remove “Free Memory” functionality from apps

In another seemingly controversial App Store approval decision, Apple has forced iPhone developers to remove functionality that allows users to “free memory” on demand.

While third parties are limited from developing background applications for the iPhone, Apple allows their applications such as the iPod, Safari, and Mail applications to continue to run. After prolonged use, these background applications may take up most of the memory (RAM) on the iPhone that can create interface sluggishness and prevent some memory-intensive applications from loading. Applications such as iStat for iPhone (App Store link) have until now enabled users to free this memory with the click of a button.
When asked for comment, Bjango, the developer of iStat, gave the following account of Apple’s request:

On the heels of last week’s announcement that Apple’s iPhone would become available in China late this year, the company has confirmed its agreement with China Unicom is not exclusive to the carrier.

In a significant change from the platform’s launch in most other countries, China Unicom may not be the sole carrier of the iPhone in the nation of over one billion, if Apple enters into an agreement with another competing carrier. Speaking with Dow Jones Newswires, an Apple spokesperson confirmed that the China Unicom contract is not exclusive. The person declined, however, to detail whether or not Apple is in negotiations with other possible carriers.

However, last week the chairman of China Unicom said he believes his company will remain the only carrier of the iPhone because it operates on the WCDMA standard, the third-generation successor to the GSM platform.

iphone Product summary

The good: The iPhone 3GS finally adds common cell phone features like multimedia messaging, video recording, and voice dialing. It runs faster; its promised battery life is longer; and the multimedia quality continues to shine.

The bad: The iPhone 3GS' call quality shows no improvements and the 3G signal reception remains uneven. We still don't get Flash Lite, USB transfer and storage, or multitasking.

The bottom line: The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
