There's a special e-mail address for doing this ... I'll see if I can find it ... Comment: found it ... here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html I'm sure they'll pick up on anything expressed clearly, briefly & sensibly !! - cj UK Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:57:40 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/What-Does-iPhone3-Mean-for-Home-Automation.html#comment-340 Maybe, but the people who work for it are many, and it's they who do the doing & bringing to market - the corporation is just the device through which they do it ! - cj UK Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:54:42 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/What-Does-iPhone3-Mean-for-Home-Automation.html#comment-339 "Apple have introduced " Apple is a single corporation so the phrase should be Apple has introduced etc. - Rondan Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:51:18 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Announcements/What-Does-iPhone3-Mean-for-Home-Automation.html#comment-338 Background tasks will never happen. Apple would not release software for push to only have that software scrubbed with new hardware, even if catering for old generation iPhones, forget it. Also, this is important, right now manufacturers let you have too much freedom. That's dangerous, it can ruin the experience. But in the realm of Home Automation hacking is still king. I admit I forgot about home automation and what the External Accessory Framework would mean for it, this is exciting. However I feel that HA will still be left behind as always, I mean look what we have now, its all hacky. I would like to see Apple release some devices, ones that people could buy off the shelf and plug'n'play, its not there yet but I know Apple must be thinking about this. - Samuel Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:44:36 +0100
