iPhone Firmware 2.1 Beta 4 Cancels Push Service

(No Ratings Yet)

Firmware 2.1 for iPhone is set to arrive sometime in September. We’ve heard about various beta updates and it appears there’s one more. Beta 4 will disable the service which allows background data for native applications.

That means that the push notification data has been suspended for an indefinite period of time. It’s likely to return when Apple feels ready. Hopefully they will get they feeling by September since the push thing is for some the key feature in their iPhone.

Apple says that the notification code will be off limits for further development, without offering more information about future betas. I guess third party developers will pause any application that could use the push service until Apple finishes of the further development thing.

Samsung announces new SW to boost mobile phone memory

Samsung has announced some new software that will boost the built-in memory on it’s Smartphones. The memory in question is the embedded flash memory portion within devices (i.e. OneNAND, Flex-OneNAND and moviNAND)

Apparently the “boost” is that of performance - as we know, with any kind of request/retrieve operation to memory (be it solid-state or other), there is a lag time (albeit usually tiny) involved.

In effect, says Business Wire, those data movements within the memory, that are given instructions by the operating system, are speeded up. The new file system/flash driver combination, when working with any of the memory chips and the operating system, will boost performance through faster booting, downloading and searching.
