[QUOTE="ElegantEsthetic, post: 1193238, member: 169137"] I believe most any review (editorial or customer) that mentions multitasking has mentioned a faster way to switch between the apps. I don't have an iOS device (I sold the iPod Touch that came with my MBP for college) as of yet but I have used them fairly extensively, and while I don't find a problem with the iOS version of multitasking (freezing an app and storing it in memory) I do think that double-tapping the home button and then swiping, and then tapping, IS a little extensive. Based on the iOS 4.3 features that have been mentioned (a quick google search should find you most of the info) it seems like Apple is meeting most people halfway; four/five finger swipe up to reveal the app-switcher, and four/five finger swipe to the sides to quickly switch. This should keep everyone happy with what's going on. What I mean by the backgrounding is that it would be nice to be able to get some writing done in iA Writer or look through a page in Safari (or Skyfire, haven't decided yet) while I'm talking to someone on Facebook/MSN. If this is already possible I must have missed it and that's my mistake :3 [/QUOTE]
