3rd party multi-tasking plus local Push servers is a huge step for this OS. This unlocks some serious handcuffs.

Unless we see a gargantuan shift in marketable battery technology, I think this type of 'multitasking' actually has an advantage for handheld devices.

What I like is that they said PSP and DS were their main competitors in the game market.....and that they blow them out of the water.
Its two completely different kettle of fish lol.....

Apple are up to the old tricks of adding things in that everyone else has had for a while then saying "We can do it better, for 4x the price"

This "state-based multitasking" isn't new, either. While I won't claim Nokia was the first, the N800 and N810 provided the ability for applications to save their state to disk via the libosso API and be suspended when the available memory was low. Unfortunately, I believe the only third-party app to do this was Xarchiver...
