Even your current version of iPhone OS has multitasking support, kernel threads and apple provided applications(apple music player ?) all compete for CPU time simultaneously. What the new OS will do is add "multitasking like" features for *third party applications*. Mostly it will be in the form of adding ability to run them in the background. >>Apple’s stand on this is – ‘the iPhone 3G >>and iPod Touch 2G both have only 128 MB of >>RAM .. This is preposterous! 128 MB in an embedded system is more than enough for multitasking. I am sure the reasons were more political than technical.
