iPhone developers will be able to program a notification system into their apps, so that even when an application is not running on the iPhone screen, the app can still communicate with users via a text pop-up alert, a tiny badge on the app icon (like the small number seen to represent voicemails or email messages), and even sound alerts, such as an ESPN jingle to notify users of an important score change in a sports event.

Awesome new phone. Just wish Apple didn't signed an exclusive deal with AT&T otherwise I'd buy one. I know you can jailbreak the phones but that's something we shouldn't have to deal with.

I agree if they had opened it up the iPhone would be dominating the whole market. But that's just my thoughts on it.

"The battery will last for 100 recharge cycles, and won't diminish its charge capacity for five years".... I think that's 1000 recharges.
