Because itīs also video camera, but i agree that it should only stop when you SELECT/activate video camera. Bug report?
IMHO installing is one of processes when you should NOT do anything else. And after all if you look time spend with device the installing is just tiny amount of time. Or is your daily routine to install ~3 apps EVERYDAY to end of devices lifecycle.
BUT then again current app manager is slow as hell (all repositories enabled) and search functionality is really basic and it screams for portrait mode (more information on one eyeful).

N900 is fully preemptive multitasking, IMO these problems depend on SW design (camera app & app manager).

As i said app manager could be made better. For example to select apps you want to install and then install them on one batch, but doing multitasking for this really really heavy operation is imo not right thing to do.

The real reason that the music stops is the lack of the possibility to play sounds from more than one source at a time.
The camera application have to playback the shutter sound when your device is not in the silent mode (its a law in some countries) - the application can only do this when every other sound playback stops.
On the most desktop machines you will hear booth sounds at a time, but the N900 driver can't handle more than one source at a time. The driver can't mix it.
For the multitasking FUD: I can't playback a video in Background!
That's very sad. I would like to check eMails or write SMS sometimes during watching a movie. Stop the Image and continue only the audio playback would fix this for me.

I don't agree. I think is better if we colud select and install one apps for times, and meanwhile we search other and maybe we at least select for download. Is Same thing happens on the iPhone I think
