Engadget will publish anything to generate traffic.
Also, most of the post about Nokia phones there, are just flamebait to generate lots of comments, which generates traffic, which generates income from sponsors, and when things get out of hands, they shut down commenting.

This kind of sounds like when Sega was killing Nintendo with the Genesis, when they still only had the NES out. Nintendo kept telling people "8bit is all there really is and all anyone needs".
In this case (fueled by their forum spin), it is both Apple and MS spinning for their OS's which have minimal to no multi-tasking. Though register stacks and wait states are used to give the illusions of some levels of multi-tasking on most mobile OS's, the N900 with Maemo 5 does make a more honest attempt at it, more than any other device.
Uni-tasking! Watch both Apple and MS pimp for it

Sooooo true, the weeks and days before the release of the iPad they posted speculations and nonsense articles about it every few minutes or so...
The only thing a sane person can do is to avoid Engadget altogether!

Well I've managed to get 36 programs running at the same time before it froze and I had to reboot!
If that ain't multitasking I don't know what is!
