"Apple founder Steve Jobs also showcased a long-awaited multi-tasking feature, which will allow users run more than one program at a time. " I suppose that they introduced multitasking primarily for running those ads in parallel with the application :-D PS In any case, this is amusing. A few years ago, but also recently, I was discussing in an Apple users forum about the lack of multitasking of the iPhoneOS, saying that it's something so technologically primitive. Many answered that indeed it has been done purportedly and for a good reason, that users of a typical phone would be confused by multitasking. Now I wonder whether Apple will also publish an update for the users' firmware, so they are no more confused? :-P - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
