Hi momcilo,

Sorry, but I have owned Psion Siena, Psion Revo, Nokia 7650, N-Gage, N95, Nokia 9290 and Nokia 9500, Epoc OS and Symbian OS have a good and real multitask with good to excellent battery life.

Oh, yeah, the "dumbing down" approach to smartphone/tablet OS does not have limits...

But does it make sense to have dual and quad core CPU (Tegra 2, Tegra 3, etc) in smartphones and tablets without real multitasking ? A Tegra 3 CPU is equivalent to a Intel Core 2 Duo 7200-7500 CPU in raw calculation power, so why not running a 2 minute calculation (a 2D integration, for example) in background while I browse web ?

I only buy smartphone and tablets with real multitasking, despite all lies Apple and Google say about iOS and Android OS.

About the Bloomberg article of June 2nd, well, it is a multi US$ billion game where the midia play$ an important role. With the deal between Nokia & Microsoft we have midia now supporting Nokia & Microsoft while before they are bashing Nokia everytime...

Regards,

Roberto
