using iOS4 with iPhone 3G

no multi-tasking! also heard that iOS4 takes up lots of memory. no wonder, my app is facing problem. really need to optimize the app in terms of memory access and usage.

update to iOS4 and latest xcode

just did a massive update to the xcode, itunes and iphone to the latest.

first thought is slow for mapkit rendering.

second is that compiling is much tighter now.  what used to work for iPhone OS 3.13  doesn’t work for iOS4 for some cases, especially the memory intensive stuff for some Coredata calls that I made earlier.  Need to optimize or remove some of the fetch.  Seems like iOS4 is quite adamant on memory.

also, need to rework some of the google docs code that import into coredata.

was able to import earlier, not was busted.

did like the compiler and some enhance debugging tools in xcode.

looks like got lots to clean up and debug for version iOS4

Google Maps will be with iPhone / iPad for long time

As quoted by Steve Jobs in recent All Things D Conference near Los Angeles, “The iPhone would continue to have Google Maps”

Therefore, good to continue using Google Maps API with iPhone’s Mapkit.

Integrate Google Maps API into an iPhone app

Found some very good links and references from StackOverflow.  Will look into it later.
