Dear list, This is Joseph. I would also like to add my thoughts. From general and technical point of view, multitasking means the process of running two or more applications at the same time. In reality, it is possible, but you can focus on one application at a time. For example, it is possible to read a book and compose an email at the same time. Let us say that you were reading a book and composing at the same time, although you can focus on reading the book. While it is already implemented, the limitations also exist. While you can compose and read at the same time, you can only focus on one thing at a time. Windows CE allows multitasking. Listening to media and doing other thing is an example of multitasking, except with some twist. Because PK and mPower has dual-channel sound card, so you can listen to the media fle and the speech at the same time. Again, for the usual traffic reasons, I'll close my thoughts right now. P.S. Please, people, keep the messages in topic please.

Well, if you really think about the possibility of a third-arm; do you really think you would be able to process all of this information at one time? It isn't possible to take audio streaming, book reading aurally, book reading using Braille, reading email all at the same time efficiently. The Braille is able to run things such as an audio stream while reading email and things like that, but if you were to go an further with multi-tasking it becomes extremely inefficient. That is just my thoughts on this topic. I suggest thinking about reality before posting something like this--it isn't possible for any human to do this efficiently.
