iPod touch Browser Limitations
Sep162007 8:36PM — John —I’ve been playing with the iPod touch pretty heavily for a couple of days now and I’ve noticed that the browser has some slight and understandable limitations on the way webpages are run in parallel, the limitation being that they aren’t. Or at least not when one of the pages has a lot of images on it, in that case it closes the heavy webpage out and lets you view your other page and then reloads it when you switch back. The iPod touch also only allows you to have a maximum of 8 sites open at a time regardless of their “weight”. The browser is also missing flash and java, the latter I couldn’t care less about, but the former would have been really awesome for mobile games on the touch. Hopefully they’ll add support for this later on, but knowing Apple, later on will be the next generation of the product.
