Does the plist edit without jailbreaking work to enable multitasking on 3G?

Anyone interested in testing this? Since multitasking is just a string, should this work?

And I literally just finished jailbreaking my 3G to enable multitasking. Oh well. Some one try and let us know as I'm not a huge fan of JBing because of the slow that occurs over time.

Well how is multitasking on your phone? Does it seem pretty smooth?

rather not jb just to get the multitasking.

Yes, thats the only way to edit or hack anything that doesnt come with its stock firmware.
Or you could go for an iPhone 4 or 3GS

just tried it....you have to jb the device to gain root access.
