am I correct to think the nexus prime / ice cream sandwich has a multi tasking view? I see an icon on the quick launch bar which showed a grid view. If this is indeed true then it changed things for me. Quick/effective multitasking is my top requirement from a device.
Multi-tasking grid view, plus the option of adding widgets etc.
I have never been an Android fan, I use my N900 on a daily basis, and for the record I can afford to buy both but can't see the point of having 2 phones.
I suspect that as nice as the N9 appears (I have yet to hold one - thanks Nokia UK), the Prime has better specs, better support and significant developper interest...
Sigh, if only the N9 had come out in early 2011.

Let me put it this way:
lim t -> infinity of U(maemo(t)) = 0
where t is Time and U is a strictly increasing utility function with decreasing marginal rate of maemo.

Although, starting with Honeycomb there IS a button that shows you a list of open apps that are running so that you can immediately switch between tasks. (See: http://blogs.computerworld.com/17759..._3_0_honeycomb) This button still seems to be shown in that video--on the bottom right side of the screen... it looks like an overlapping windows icon--so my guess is that that's the way you'll switch between open tasks. (See a picture here: http://ces.cnet.com/2300-32491_1-100...s=0&o=10006142 )
You can see things in action under Honeycomb a bit better here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGIU2JX1U5Y#t=7m45s
Ice Cream Sandwich isn't out yet, technically, so it'll be hard to find a specific video on that task switching interface.

thanks for the well researched comment Mr Dan. It is clear as soon as android sorts out a few things many here will be glad to leave Nokia. No company or brand has a monopoly on my future devices or wallet and nor should it on anyone else's.
