@FriarNurgle: Hasn't iBackground been in the top 25 of free apps for iOS for months?

@Decad3nce: It can have a running service and not hold a partial wake lock, though. I have Touiteur running at 15 minutes refreshes and it only wakes up to refresh data and then fully releases it's wake lock causing no battery usage. The partial wake lock the Facebook service holds prevents my phone from fully going…

@somekindarobit: I was not using the widget either. I've disabled sync and am going to do some testing on the actual service it runs after work.

@Red Rocket: Quite right.

@wild_world_girl: :) Remind me of my new favorite Jason Chen quote from the iPhone 4 review: "It has one thousand and eighty pees."

@thnikkamax: Swipe finger from left to right on your posts and a delete button will appear in iOS.

@trunicated: Well that's my screenshot of being unplugged since 7am (8 hours ago) and I have Facebook set to sync every two hours. My phone has had the screen off for about 95% of the time since it's been unplugged. I was down to about 50% at lunch time where I'm normally in the low 90s and was hovering around 30 when…

@Mike Richichi: I believe the Facebook alternative and soon-to-be open source application Bloo does this.

@EvilDroidClone: Profile, Long press status entry in feed, Remove Post

@JakeWharton:

@Jared D: Silence! Arbitrary numbers which have absolutely no meaning across platforms tell us what to buy. No one wants Android 2.2 when there's iOS 4! Four, people. That's almost two whole thingies bigger!

Runs a service in the background that holds a partial wake lock and kills your battery. Use the mobile website instead.

Very cool. As with Chrome to Phone, I don't plan to use this all the time but it certainly will be an invaluable tool when the need arises every now and then.

@archercc: Been a month, but I finished: [lifehacker.com]

Doesn't provide any really useful statistics beyond the initial categorization.

@Tills13: I think by predecessor you mean successor.

While I like some of the stuff they have done, playing catch-up is never an easy game. And if you disagree that they're playing catch-up, you're likely already a BlackBerry user. They have an advantage of a dedicated user base, especially in the corporate world, but I'm glad they are trying their best.

@wætherman: mind = blown!

@BazookaJoe: It takes all of 6 lines to disable the background when it is not visible on the screen and is present in all of the open source live wallpapers I have seen. It is also one of the first things in the tutorial for developing live wallpapers on the Android developers site.
