have to agree that task switching with the note is slower than with Maemo, but it's as nothing compared to task LOSING :-(
I have a habit of leaving a browser session open for a while (often posting a long ramble on a forum whie simultaneously doing other background stuff & dealing with calls, texts, emails etc.on the phone as I go). Several times now, Android has arbitrarily closed down my Opera session with my long rambling post still mid-composition, despite it being the only application running on my 1GB RAM phone. Seriously unimpressed by that.
It did the same yesterday when I'd left an s-memo open to scribble down some debug info as I went through an online diagnostic log. I was adding a line to my newly created memo every 10 or so minutes. I stopped for lunch and when I came back, the s-memo was gone. Can't believe Android will just close down edited, unsaved documents like that (without even prompting first) presumably just to save a few mAh's or Megs of ram on an otherwise idle phone, WTF??
I went from Maemo to Android expecting a dissapointment in multi-tasking, and I'm sure I'll eventually find out how to disable Android's default behaviour to make it leave open stuff running until battery low or whatever, but it does indeed suck.
However that is (presumably?) an android issue rather than specific to the Note, which I'm still really happy with overall. The form factor, viewing experience and general ease/convenience of use for me continue to outweigh it's limitations in the multi-tasking dept.
