I can then start another process like, say, xterm and edit a file while listening to the music from youtube. Can you do the same on the n9? That is, if you use youtube and then swipe back to the apps tray, do you still hear the music playing or does it "freeze" the app? Then to restart you swipe back to the open apps and select it. This latter case would be more or less what android does. Anyways, if the n9 multi-tasks like n900 that would be nice.
On the N9, YouTube videos are launched in an external video player, which will pause when minimized. However, the N9 is capable of multitasking in the same way as the N900. It is up to developers to decide how their applications behave when minimized. I choose to let users decide, Nokia chooses to decide for you.
