No actually it's not. If you actually had read the description, you would have seen that the app was written for Maemo 5 and running on it, hence it was running on the N900.

The first video I saw about the n900 was late august , the one with the two finnish maemo fellows (one had a imac) , and it was pretty impressive , way before adds.
I'm dying to see the next iphone adds : "with the new iphone 4G , you can now do two things at a time"
rofl !!!

I'm a huge Nokia fan, and the N900 is awesome, but some of you guys need to learn to take a little criticism without flipping your lids. RealityCheck makes some valid points, and shouldn't be attacked just for raising some questions on this board.

We'll that is sure one long invisible A/V cable connected to the N900 don't you think.
It's funny how I gave you all those links, proving you're wrong on the N900, yet you still can't face the fact that you're wrong. Instead you choose the one link that isn't fully explained in the video of 'how does it do it' so automatically you choose it as a basing point to strengthen your statement, even though you have already been proved overwhelmingly wrong by pretty much everyone counter-posting.

here's a tip for the future: don't goto a sprocket-enthusiast forum and start a thread dissing sprockets... nothing personal to the OP, just a good rule of thumb.

You are almost completely wrong except for this:
I'm glad you haven't ordered an N900 yet. There's a lot of excited people waiting for theirs to come, and you would be wasting a perfectly good spot in the queue.

Nokia's advertising is very slick and cool - e.g. (http://maemo.nokia.com/) and I really I like it - but it promises something I suspect this device does not deliver.

Multitasking
I'm not sure this device can comfortably run two or three tasks at the same time, from what I see in all the videos it is more "Task-Switching" rather than Multitasking and even that is not very responsive. When an option is selected, there seems to be a noticeable delay of about 1/2 second before the device responds - Very slow internal storage?, Overworked CPU? I don't know.
In almost every demonstration video of Multitasking, the user has to tap the screen a few times to switch tasks, almost like the CPU goes to 100% busy for a short period of time - particularly after starting the music player and if you listen carefully the music is jittery when switching tasks.
Task-Switching is not Multitasking, having said that, the N900 seems good at Task-Switching given that most the apps demonstrated are actually doing nothing e.g. IM, web page, etc. these are all 100% idle apps waiting for input.
Also please give more information like video, firmware versions, installed additional software, running processes.
Thank you.
