i dont see why people complain about "true multitasking". why does it matter? the only thing id want to stay open is music. i think wp7 has some of the best multitasking, it just pauses the apps. its a great way to keep battery life, look at android lol the battery life is so bad because of its "true multitasking".

There is at least one video player for N9 which can continue to play video while in the background (good for musical videos).

first time heard of "serial tasking"
This is what I like to do on my mobile,
Surt web using Opera, open multiple tabs and in the middle of replying post at many forums. Oh there is text comes in, "save" the "snapshot" of my Opera in the background and reply to the text, and open back Opera and continue to surf internet/reply-to-post from all my tabs opened previously.
My task above definitely fail on Android/iOS, it will automatically kills Opera..which will make Opera re-launch its application and reload back the web...lost all my reply-in-the-making
On Symbian or N9 I used, it never fail to deliver my task above..
So..my task...Serial Tasking or Multi Tasking?

I open up the APP store go to new releases and what do I see....apps that display celebrity pictures, web links......its saddening.
Ladies and gentlemen after using the Nokia N9 for more than 6 months now I have come to the sad realization that my Nokia N9 has nothing more to offer me. I have no new apps, I cant tell my friends why my phone is better and more practical then their's anymore, neither can I share great times using common apps with them.
The fact that you need to show off your phone to your friends is what you should realize it's saddening.
the UI alone isn't enough to save this phone anymore.
Grow up.

In the battle of multitasking:
1st - Symbian 60 & linux (maemo, meego, etc)
2nd - Android, iOS, WP, Bada.
You will notice their are only two tiers here. The first can multitask, the second cannot.
Anyone who claims the contrary has LITERALLY NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

Nokia n900/n9 are a diamond in a sand. The sand being Android and IOS.

In this case, Nokia took those diamonds, dumped them in the trash, picked up a turd, tried to polish it, labeled it their best strategy and it all stunk up the place.
Meanwhile, people are arguing over details whereas the biggest detail has been left out - no updates, no movement, no OS support and nothing new will be coming down the pipe at all.
Diamond indeed.

That's pure opinion and I respect that. You don't find any new apps that fit you. I install the few apps I need for daily use and move on with my life. I only look for apps when I have a new need and of course I _know_ how to tell needs from whims.

How about I ask you, show me the N9 playing 720p H.264, show me grooveshark for online music on the go, Give me a physical keyboard, show me system directory access from the from native apps, let me have video calls on skype...I am tired of repeating myself. Give me an office based client editor. I will tell you about a phone that has 90% of all that and 90% of N9 similar apps. All you bring to the table is recorder apps? seriously? The problem of people like you is that you do not respect other people to understand what they are trying to say and you immediately take an offensive stance.
Of course it is, for people that actually use their device, that is. It doesn't mean a thing for those constantly tinkering and searching for the latest fad. Sure.

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:38.
multitasking means: "do *multi* *tasks* at same time" <-> browse web and talk on phone at same time or, listen to music and talk on phone...yes, it is possible i did it with E7. that's multitasking...and symbian devices have good battery life because symbian devs wrote "tasking feature" properly.
android on other hand don't really run multitasking, but some sort of that it does. android takes snapshot and keeps it in ram, so that when you start app again it will load faster and it will eventually be "on same position where you closed it" but app it self don't run all the time unless it's registered as service and service types off apps don't work exactly as normal apps so, it is yet another story.
however, i saw some SoE walkman phones with all features you need, so, why did you bothered to buy N9 instead of SoE walkman...you would be able to put music in background and to "browse web"...
so, this is reason why i assume that you didn't knew what you bought. am i right?
