Gizmodo reports on details about the rumored Mac Tablet. The source says that the device will look much like a large iPhone. It has the home button and black plastic back, but with a 10-inch screen.

“The device, which I’ve held mock ups of, is going to have a 10 inch screen, and when I saw it looked just like a giant iPhone, with a black back — although that design could change at any time” they said, “with the same black resin back, and the familiar home button.”

But according to the German site iPhone-Notes.de the new Apple device will not be called Mac Tablet or iTablet, but MacBook Touch. That sure sounds more like an Apple product and it also sounds good.

A new update for LiveJournal has been released. The blog-application allows you to add new messages to your online journal (on www.livejournal.com). The update contains some bugfixes for the application. What’s interesting is that the developer is currently working on an update that will allow you to post pictures in the the journal posts. An interesting feature to look out for.

Previously it was stated that the iPhone wouldn’t support tasks or apps running in the background, this was due to high battery and memory usage.
Some sources suspected that firmware build 5A258f does support apps running in the background.
However if we read the new SDK documentation well, this speculation gets rather quickly demolished.

When an application is inactive, it is executing but is not dispatching incoming events. This occurs when an overlay window pops up or when the device is locked.

Only one iPhone application can run at a time, and third-party applications never run in the background. This means that when users switch to another application, answer the phone, or check their email, the application they are using quits.

So far dreaming of a native chat or gps app :(

I haven’t been really active with Posting on IphoneFreakz the last couple of days.

But this has very good reasons. I configured and installed the new server, migrated the website and speed-optimized the website.

I’m still fine-tuning some settings, but the speeds look good so far.

I know i have a lot of visitors from around the world, and i would like to know if you think the speed is satisfying or not.

Please post a comment, so that i know if i have to improve or if i can get some sleep now :)

First of all.. a great welcome to all of you who are interested in learning more about the iPhone.

Our goal is to supply you with all the information you will ever need to work and play with the iPhone.Till the next post, i greet you all. ..Nicolas aka Multinova
