IPhone OS 4.0 . . multi-tasking or a joke for Symbian?

So whats the big thing that iphone is releasing it OS 4.0, well its the multi-tasking feature that they are now planning to introduce in an Iphone, MULTI-TASKING? Aint that the one which nokia phones alreeady have?? i mean symbian series? YES, OH please tell me something I dont know.

The buzz is that this OS 4.0 carry 100 new features out of which multi-tasking is the major one, Now thats what I call welcome to the 21st century, while nokia has already captured it with the symbian, So yes apple's eye has just opened.

I really dont find there buzz so attractive, i mean no nokia user or any symbian user must be thrilled by this introduction as this is not enough compelling for us.

So I've heard that the multi-tasking they are offering is just in its infancy as yet as the real deal of a multi-tasking phone is to run applications in the background where as Iphone runs 7 background services which allow the application to gain access in those background service without actually running them in the background.

The services include background audio, VoIP, background location, push notifications, newly implemented local notifications, task completion and fast app switching service that takes care of returning apps to you in the way you left them even though they were not running in between, Now thats apple definations of multi-tasking.

The new OS will be available in summers with the launch of a new Iphone and existing Iphone 3G and 3GS user will get an update, BUT! some of the features INCLUDING multi-tasking wont work on iphone 3G, (Why offered it in the first place).

Bottom line, There is not even that much that meets the eye.
