I felt like it was important for those of us on DRC that have been impacted by issues to know that Slacker is working on this. It is also as I said early this isn't just impacted Slacker. I've had issues with Pandora, Rhapsody.
Update for user with iOS4 problems
by RomeE on Wed Jul 07, 2010 2:28 pm
Good afternoon,
We are continuing to chase down the problems. It does seem that the iOS4 will close out applications if the memory runs low. Therefore, the majority of the issues are on the older hardware (the 3G iphone and the 2nd gen iPod Touch).
This is not isolated to Slacker btw. There are many blogs out there recommending people with 3G iphone and 2nd Touches not to upgrade because of the slow down and issues with many applications, and the fact that those devices do not benefit from iOS4 as much as the new hardware does.

In addition, people with 3GS phones and 3rd generation touches have reported very slow devices after the upgrades, as well as audio problems (unrelated to Slacker).

So, we are looking at things, and we are trying to see if there are things we can do to make the situation better. But it also may need some work from Apple, in helping to determine why the iOS4 is breaking with the OS3 version was working so great.
Rest assured, we are hearing your comments and feedback, and we are actively working different angles in the application development right now to try and find ways that we can help fix the problem, but it may take some time, especially since the iOS4 is so dramatically different than the previous OS releases.
Best regards,
