better let the wiki answer in detail...

Higher resolution really makes a difference especially in web browsing and texts related. Impressive on the iphone retina display

but in small screen does those resolution do any good in text reading?

that i not so sure. Must wait sifu to answer but from wat i know its harder to see if screen small

well, some rough explaination la..

when an application uses ram, it would need to register the address to the system, and that portion of ram would be allocated for the application only, no other application can access it. Normally, when the application finish using it, it would free the ram from its usage. memory leak is when the application did not free off the ram that is no longer being used by it. Since no other application can access it, the usable ram would become smaller, and the ram taken by the application that is not free would be 'forever' lost...until you restart the device that is...

now getting more and more itu pid pid pad pad... they're test test water with bigger portable devices but it look silly with a "pad" phone

Thanks for the explaination. If lost forever even ram booster or cleaner wont help? until restart>

actually, it gives you sharper text, you notice that despite the higher resolution, all the text and icons size did not change. Steve Con. Jobs mention that the pixel is directly x2 of the width and length of the 3GS, so upscaling on iphone 4 would just means pump in 2x the pixel to the text/icon, just making the image sharper, which i think it's rather cool...well, too bad it's iOS

Added on September 20, 2010, 3:29 pmsince it's still allocated under the certain application, i don think so..in some scenario, even when the application is terminated, the memory it used would still be allocated for it..maybe ram booster can clear those off..
but honestly, if you feel that you phone is too laggy, just restart..i mean...how hard is it?

Wow too bad its on iOS. So means this only effected on text only? Photo wont make a different?

opsy.... butt burning butt burning liao......

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think certain situation, you can free the memory yourself manually; In Windows, you can kill certain process in TaskManager if the process still running;
Not sure memory leaks is similar.

Sometimes we may not be able to see all the processes, for Windows, there is Process Explorer by SysInternals which provides more powerful Process/Task Manager. Sometimes, if you notice you can't delete certain file, you can try to check using Process Explorer and you might notice some process is holding on to the file, even though there's nothing open in your Windows that's accessing the file.

I remember last time when Pocket PC first come out with 640X480 pixels; Gosh, that was marvellous, LoL! The speaker shows the screen from afar and it looks great, sharp and crisp, or whatever the words are.

price very close to N8. I bet it will be very hard to make decision

but still i think reading/browsing using phone long hours no good for eyes lah.... not a bad idea to open a spectacles shop since idoncare4 religios keep growing...

hmm..that, i am not sure..maybe u sponsor me one IP4 and i let u know, although it's iOS, if it comes free i don mind

really make me confuse to decide between N8 & iphone4...
maxis plan seem so nice...

if camera go for N8
if for games/apps Ip4

honestly, i been thinking of getting one as well...retina display is sweet, and the number of apps are just attractive...

i agree on this, sometimes u in KTM/LRT sien nothing to do, just online a bit post on facebook, watch youtube..still ok wad

RM1,690 + RM1,200 = RM 2,890

Not bad wor... however, 1GB is too low...
1cent/kb if over quota, dont play play... later suffer...

hehe then wait for digi plan....

If they had a better pricing for 2 years plan, I would take it straight away. RM1.1k, sell the phone for 2.6k and keep the line to use...
