This is why I think Apple adding multi-tasking to OS 4.0 is a mistake. Nobody really missed it, and now a lot of people are going to have to concern themselves with understanding what is going on, when they do not want to. Or, they are going to wonder why their new device is so slow, and the battery does not last as long.
I understand people wanting to listen to Pandora in the background, I do not think there are that many people like that. I do not think they warrant this huge change.
- cludwin 17y agoI can't disagree more. Multi-tasking is inevitable it just so happens that this is one place where Android devices beat the iPhone to the punch. In time both platforms will mature and the task switching will get smoother. I own a N1 and as for listening to music while I do something else I don't even think about it any more it just seems weird to not be able to do that. As a device the N1 is very polished and for the most part the apps worth downloading are pretty smooth but every now and again I do have to resort to the task killer. A good task killer is a must have for development or when testing beta apps.
- megablast 17y agoCan you tell me what other use you get out of Multitasking? On the iPhone, we already have notifications, so IM does not need to be running. And you didn't address my point, I can understand you wanting and understanding it. The large numbers of people getting into smartphones DO NOT.
