I think Apple did the right thing when disallowing multitasking for 3rd party apps. Although not having multitasking sucks.
Yes, but they have multithreading and shared libraries. That leaves room for interesting things. The key is not to call other apps. There are even shared data sources, so I think there's plenty of programming games that can be played. I'm an iPhone development newbie but I'm optimistic about the possibilities. What sucks is the current cut-and-paste issue.
