About multitasking and copy-paste

    I look at the modern market of mobile operating systems and it becomes a little sad. All the forces rush to create beautiful interfaces, others create thousands of unnecessary applications, and sometimes they forget about the implementation of the functions of the first vital necessity at the iron level. More precisely, they do not realize it consciously. Of these functions, I can see multitasking and copy-paste, or rather its implementation and the presence of the clipboard in general.

    I recently found out that after abandoning normal multitasking in Windows Mobile 7, they also refused the clipboard, thereby depriving the user of copying / pasting something between applications. Here is the question: WHY SUCH A COMMUNICATOR?


    There is no multitasking in the iPhone OS, I don’t know if copy-paste has been implemented. Android OS also has multitasking and copy-paste, but which ones !!! Before buying HTC Hero, I read a lot of information about the implementation of multitasking in Android. I immediately realized that I wouldn’t have the usual implementation (like Alt + Tab), but on the forums they talked almost about the revolution, they said that it’s hard to describe it, you have to try it yourself. In general, Android “intelligently” manages the RAM of the device in which it is placed. The Android itself decides which processes have the honor and privilege of running, which should be paused, and which should be unloaded. In fact, everything is very sad and not convenient. Being in the application you never know what will happen to him after clicking on the house. And a long squeeze of the house (in Symbian it shows running applications) displays the last used applications. That is, even if you exit the application, when you clamp the house, it will be displayed. And in order to see exactly the running applications, you need to install a third-party task manager. By the way, the task manager does not intercept the long clamping of the house, it must be opened every time as a regular program. Copy-paste is implemented even worse, I already wrote about it in a note about the cons of Android.

    So today we have the following picture: these two very important functions are correctly implemented only in Symbian OS, which I am convinced of every day hundreds of times. But on the way Symbian ^ 3. I really hope that there will be no major bummer!
