Can someone answer my stupid Iphone questions please?

Hi,

My phone contract ends in a few weeks and I'm thinking of upgrading to a 3gs.

I have a couple of daft questions though. Could someone help?

1. Can you use more than one app at a time?
2. Can you listen to music and play a game/browse the net at the same time?
3. Can I sync my iphone with my macbook using bluetooth?

Sorry for the seemingly daft questions but I cant see anything that gives answers to these.

Cheers

Barry

1. No
2. Yes you can
3. Bluetooth is only for bluetooth headsets so you can't link it to your macbook or another phone.

Thanks.

One more daft question. What happens if I'm playing a game/using an app and someone calls me? Does it save the game?

Cheers

most games will pause, then continue once you finish a call

This has more to do with the game than the phone, so it depends on what it's been designed and coded to do. Most will pause and resume where you left

1. If you jailbreak you can download an app that lets you run an application in the background so you could use more then one at once.

It sounds like the features on it are something from 2005.

I can't believe it wont sync with my macbook using bluetooth, how rubbish is that!
