its not real multitasking its just basicly what they've had all along but they have added a little task switcher with icon, the only thing i've heard that really multi tasks it will play audio in background for certain apps fast app switching. It's what allows applications to save its state and stop running, and then restart instantly where you left it.
Like I said... more like Android's lifecycle model (in addition to some other services like audio and location).
So everyone is glad for competition now... so can Nokia please give us a REAL email client and not this Modest p.o.c.
Unified inbox, multiple exchange accounts, OFFLINE USE, etc.
Every new phone that comes out runs out of stock quite fast as you never make many of them.
When it happened to N900 people complained.
See what he's saying about the iPad "I'm told Best Buy is out of stock... we're making them as fast as we can. We can't make enough of them... so we'll have to try harder".
You get it?
Now it's not that there are not enough devices! It's becuase people ARE GOING CRAZY about it!
This is how he turned the truth in something that it is not!
Should we also say that people went crazy for the N900 as well as you Nokia ran out of stock as well?
Or for so many phones out there?
And I think Open Source is really the main advantage and something people should be happy to have.
And something Apple will never understand.
Only shame is that many people don't get it as well
What Steve's showing is only smoke, smoke that hides the truth (walled garden, pay for everything, shortcomings and so on)

I've had an iPhone, and I currently use an n900. I love the MOSTLY open sourceness of the n900, but I think it's time that the open source zealots start asking a little more from Nokia. Reasonable?
i like how they tried to project there US mobile browser market share in a way it would make people think it was there device market share.
nice way to trick the nobs

True, this TECHNIQUE is "old skool", it has been available since the early Nokia Symbian devices.
What they have is few specific services for true multi-tasking ability (actually still running), which is also available for Symbian, the calls still works, the music player is part of the services, etc.
Their reason for only allowing specific services is to controlled usage, to control the battery and processing (so, users won't open too much app, thus affecting their slickness/smoothness of the phone).
But the "task switcher" concept is just exactly like Symbian and Windows Mobile. It's nothing new, in fact, it's very old concept; somehow this isn't like Apple, would expect them to come up something unique. But I guess, it's better than nothing for the iPhone users, at least now they have official "backgrounder" built in.

I got what I wanted from Nokia. If Nokia wants to compete with Apple, that's on them. So long as they don't take Apple's lead and try to claim ownership of a device I buy and make moves to stay open (like they're doing with MeeGo) then I'll probably continue to buy from them.
