I disagree. Smart multitasking is far better than everything running even when it doesn't need to. IOS already allows for this already and I can use a multitude of music apps and route them together in ways Android and RT can't. Someone else actually posted a video demoing the process. The important stuff like being able to easily add members to a call or look up an map or be on Facebook while talking on the phone was on iPhone for years. I even realized I could be on a call and play a song allowing the other person to hear it. You had to cup your hand on the bottom of the phone, but still cool. Apple always adds dozens on features that they never talk about, like Android made a big deal out of the phone speaking text in 2011. The iPhone has always been able to do so. It's called voice over. This has been standard on Apple computers since 1984. Macs have had standard voice recognition since at least 2001. Another feature not pushed is that every mac since at least OS X has had a combined analog and digital headphone/ line output. This also applies to even the airport express. I love when I'm attaching my digital speakers and someone asks why is there a red like coming out of the cable.
Yeah its so bad that people are not buying iPads or iPhones because of it. They have an adapter for people who need them. If the demand was there for having one they would add it like they did on some of the macs. These cards have seperate libraries from the Surface so getting music or even apps to coexist requires regedit which is not a good place for the general public to be. As a IT manager on a call to microsoft the tech admitted he didn't care for messing with the house of cards.
