Y'all discussing semantics and how Android have afterthought tools to avoid the weaknesses of not having real multitasking. I don't care about this discussion at all. Why? Cause my Android devices keeps stopping my tasks, i.e it'll stop listening for incoming messages in client software. It's not real multitasking. It's not even very good at fast app switching unless you use third party software. Maemo had the upper hand here, and I'm not about to change my opinion on this until MY Android phone does as good a job as MY N900 did to keep MY software running.
