    Well, iphone is still very low resolutionish for such a large screen. Thats a big deal. But they need to make the game graphics wow so thats an easy solution

    Here's another good topic to debate about:

    From the Q&A (via Engadget):

    Q: How do you close applications when multitasking?
    A: (Scott Forstall) You don't have to. The user just uses things and doesn't ever have to worry about it.
    A: (Steve Jobs) It's like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it. In multitasking, if you see a task manager... they blew it. Users shouldn't ever have to think about it.

Unfortunately, I believe the only third-party app to do this was Xarchiver...
    Wrong. Xournal handles those messages. Although I've got to re-check them.

    Aniello :P

    PS: yeah I do remember the "zzz" on the icon when the app was suspended due to lack of RAM pretty cool touch.

    It won't be available on the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, Touch 1st and 2nd gen.
    Just a correction:

    It will also be available for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2nd-gen, except that they won't include that pseudo-multitasking feature. [Source: Gizmodo]

    Well, that makes my old first-gen iPhone irrelevant now. :P

    Strange that Iphone 3G gets iPhone OS 4.0 update (sans multitasking), but the original iPhone doesn't. They have same CPU, RAM, GPU etc.

    Wonder how much crying that will cause.

    3g will probably be dumped when 5.0 arrives. so it is supported artificially as long as original iPhone with this move.

    my 2 cents

    Task manager apps will be the future top-sellers at iTunes app store. Start developing now!
