I was going to say this as well 🙂
The multitasking dock seems pretty nice, albeit quite late..
Wait, how is that multitasking? He's just switching apps. Right? ProSwitcher was way better. I guess Apple didn't want to copy Palm.
Haha i tried to pick something that others might not notice straight away!
I like the multitasking method!
I'm already excited about this update and it's far from being over! Can't wait to pick up my new iPhone with OS 4.0 on it!

10:17AM "Now I want to go to ebay -- I go right to where I left off in the apps, now I want to play a game -- now I want to play a game, Tap Tap Revenge, it keeps me where I was. Again, the game stops, let me go back and look at mail."
Does this mean that the app doesn't run whilst it is in the background or will this be a new API that developers an use? (games want to stop obviously but spotify and streaming apps you'd want to keep active.
Edit 2: 10:20AM "So how did we do this? We're providing seven multitaking services as APIs to developers."
Answered for me! 😀
Edit 3:
10:21AM "Until now, if you left the app to go to another one, the music stopped. No longer. Pandora can continue to play music in the background while you switch to apps. And you can use a controller in the lock screen to control Pandora." Pandora's Tim Westergren is up.

The only multitasking I really wanted was to run Pandora in the background -- finally!
Not a live stream but they update it constantly: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/live-from-apples-iphone-os-4-event/

Is this real multitasking -- multiple tasks running and consuming CPU cycles and memory at the same time -- or is it just a fancy state-preserving task switcher?? hmmm...
Lol how much more do you want it to represent multiple running apps??
Edit: never mind, quoted wrong reply, can't find the right one now.
Finally multitasking - hallelujah!!! So happy now, I can get by without a jailbreak and can even consider the iPad. 🙂
That looks like a taller iPhone they have in their demonstration. Yep. that phone they have is taller. Could it be the new iPhone?
