Must be my English. The application needs to pause ITSELF. The OS won't move a finger to pause anything, regardless of what view you are in.

So if you cant download at high speeds at the same time as watching, how are you supposed to be able to multitask?
You can. I'm just saying it might impact framerate.

what do you mean by quite ok? It in the eye of the beholder but any stuttering would irritate me. Specially if I want to enjoy a movie
You should then not buy any mobile phones for such purposes. There is no mobile hardware available today that can display all content PERFECTLY under all circumstances.

(Ive seen that even divx quality video stutters on n900)
That is plain wrong. There was either something running in the background (yes, that pesky multitasking), or you were looking at videos that are in a high-bitrate format that is not hardware accelerated. For example, the '9' trailer that comes with the device is 3500kbps MPEG4 video with 192kpbs AAC audio and it can be played back without stuttering.

It doesnt on my x2 3800+
So ? Are you expecting the N900 to overcome something that is not universal on desktop class hardware ?
