(Well, it can't even do that with all apps)
Iphone really sucks for Multitasking...

Phone without multitasking is like a brick wall without any cement!
N900 is a behemoth when it comes to multitasking! I can do so much stuff at the same time without slowing it down too much! However it would be nice to have had 512MB of RAM rather than 256mb and 768mb swap.
The only TRUE replacement for my N95 8GB, once I get a decent sat nav on it.

I opened Micro B browser with youtube running, then opened Firefox 1.0.0 with iplayer running, then opened Music player after that every single application I have well I tried until I got bored
I managed to open over 44 apps and the music was still running!!!!!!
There was some slow down as I reached 40 apps.
On normal use I have browser with 3 tabs open. MSN, Notes, PDF, conversations(sms) and music player without any problems and sometimes take/make calls. Runs smoothly and I can also copy and paste between apps and browser/email.

I myself always have an xterm or two open, usually one with a recently completed apt-get dist-upgrade, one with a stale ssh session to one of my servers.
Also the mediaplayer (always listening to music with my bluetooth headphones), conversations, email, BatteryEye, and sometimes calendar.
I tend not to leave browser windows open as if they have any flash elements it'll drain the battery processing them.

Flash really suck on linux - memory leaks everywhere. We need flash 10.1 with video acceleration.

I should probably not disturb you in your iPhone-bashing session, but of course the iPhone can multitask. At the core, it runs BSD unix, like all os X machines. It is just that Apple chose to pause background GUI applications to save power.
And not all applications, obviously. Of course, while you are busy checking google maps or so, it will monitor the phone and TCP/IP network, and play music in the background.
This doesn't make the N900 any less valuable, of course...

Well... I can't listen to Pandora radio anyway, it is not available outside the US.
Indeed if you switch to type an SMS, the page won't load in the background. But trying to convince me is futile: I have an N900 and not an iPhone, remember?
