People keep banging on about Multitasking.

This is targetted at the Netbook which while it can mulltitask I would serioursly advise against it. Netbooks are shit at multitasking.

On the ipod touch it is much faster to just shut the app down, open the other one and then go back to the original. With the virtually instant loading times.

The Touch also can multitask between the music player and the other apps as you can have the music playing while you surf the web etc.

I don't see it as being a deal breaker in a device that can do so many other things in such a slim form with 10 hours of battery.

Besides all the rumours point to a UI revamp in 4.0 of the interface which includes multitasking.

This is all just another case of "We already hate your game". Same thing happened to the Iphone.
