the question is, how good does it work?
number of apps at once?
means of switching between apps?
saved state? or constantly active processes?
if the answers to all these questions are good answers, then let the games begin.]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/its as if they saw the slide that microsoft showed for thei mobile version of multitasking and realised what multitasking was XD

either way, was this really worth a new BREAKING article when theres already 2 others (well more, but recently) on the iphone OS?]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/

Unless you have more than 1 core, that's only way to do multitasking. You can't have more than one process running at a time in a single processor. You are confusing multitasking with multiprocessing. ]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/

At long last indeed it took them some years to do it but they manage to get into competition now.
But i believe that we the "anti-apple" consumers we deserve a thank from the Apple funboys because if it weren't for us you would never seen multitasking. You have this bad habit of not question ANYTHING from Apple.
To be honest if they make a good hardware upgrade to the iphone in summers i will seriously consider one !!!!!]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/
What's Multitasking???]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/
Why would you want an app to not pause while you're using a different app?

Thats like saying I'll leave my car running so I can go inside and brush my teeth real quick. That would be very inefficient.]]>Apr 8th 2010 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/ Iphone OS 4.0.

I think it will depend on the App. A game will pause for example but an App like Pandora or TomTom continue to run in the background.]]>Apr 8th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/Apr 8th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/

Fanboys buy anything Apple releases, right? I mean, that's what we're always told by 16 year old tards like you. So haven't all those people bought a 3GS already?

You fail]]>Apr 8th 2010 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/multitasking-comes-to-iphone-os-4-0/If an IM program is in the background will you continue to receive incoming IMs? I know right now if you're using IM+ for example, and you want to do something else with your iphone you actually have to exit the IM+ program (assuming you haven't jailbroken and aren't using backgrounder)

Personally I think Apple should have just copied the way Palm does their multitasking. WebOS's multitasking really seems like the best multitasking any phone OS has done before.
