[QUOTE="XCode247, post: 1053032, member: 145306"] Hello, it's me again. I have since bought an iPad, and I'm now the proud owner of all 3: iPad, MacBook, and iPhone (Original). First off, I can confirm that this *is* a wonderful, magical, device. For some reason the cache size on the original iPhone, and the iPad, and possibly all the other devices, is way too small. These devices have a relatively huge amount of memory, while the browser cache itself is relatively tiny. Why is that? When I go to a news site and then I want to open up another page or bl.og and cut&paste between them, or paste a picture to sort of cross-post this ne.ws s.tory to bring it to the attention to a foreign community, I find that after I switch between the sites the device has forgotten completely about what was displayed on that page (asides for the thumbnail) and it needs to painstakingly open it all over again. It could easily save the page, but maybe it cannot save its whole execution context and so it cannot resume the age because the scripts and things have all been aborted. That shouldn't be a problem though. It could, and it should, simply remember the page and let you pop back to it. That is what the browser cache te.chnology is all about. Not only that, but if you've closed a page and reopen it, or if you click 'back', the page pops open quickly without reloading. As it is now, I am reloading the same pages over and over again every time I switch back to them. If the browser cache is a patented technology, then why not achieve multiple pages through a trick in multitasking? I'm talking to myself here. Well, it's a wonderful device nonetheless. Imagine what we could accomplish if the corporate giants cooperated. [/QUOTE]
