Re: iSSH and Multitasking in iPhone OS 4.0

I don't think you are listening. Of course you would rather iSSH be able to run in the background. Everyone would rather that iSSH could run in the background. You would be an idiot if you didn't want that capability. Nobody is arguing against that. Multitasking was invented a long time ago. We all agree that it is desirable and we don't need you to tell us the obvious. However we'd also rather be independently wealthy and live forever with young healthy bodies and minds.

What you are being told on this list is that ISSH in the background is not likely to happen regardless of what you want. Your argument is with Apple, not Dean.

If we're going to start working on hacks, I'd rather just run the app in the background.  The goal here would be simplicity and excellent usability, not more work.  Your definitions of usability and work may be different from mine, but the above wouldn't be suitable for either my uses or work style.  In particular, attempting to write Asterisk events to the disk can have disastrous consequences on a busy production server.  We're a phone company; we can't do anything that potentially destabilizes a system.
