    As much as I would love this on my iPhone you can just BET that if Apple ever enables multitasking like this the FANBOYS will act like Apple invented it and it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, ignoring the Palm Pre (and other multitasking devices).

    One word: Kirikae. Kirikae is available through RockAPP or Cydia and lets you access your favorite apps and open apps via a double-tap on the home key. If you are in Facebook and want to open Pandora, double-tap home then select Pandora from favorites, the iPhone then backgrounds Facebook (adding it to your open apps list) and opens Pandora. You can do this as many times as the iPhone processor will allow. By far, this is the best Jailbreak app I have installed(very close to SBsettings)!

    I have gotten around the multitasking issue to some extent. I carry 2 iPhones, one in each pocket, but one could be an iPod Touch. When on a call, I look up info on the other device, for example.

    @stevewoz: That would be a HILARIOUS anecdote.....if I couldnt already look up whatever information I wanted while simultaneously on a call....

    Personally, I'd much rather have the option to enter a basic list view of open applications as well as a pane option to view all applications if I happen to be an app hoarder. That way, I can keep my home screen if I'm fairly organized, but be able to zip into an interface that presents my apps similarly to iTunes album listings, which will arrange them alphabetically. It may not be fancy, but sometimes fancy might just get in the way. I'm not certain of all the little details, but this doesn't look like it would work all that well in the real world. It seems more like impractical eye candy (insert ur jokes here plz), as a lot of things are shrunken down quite a bit. I don't think I'd care to use this day to day.

    iPhone apps right now are designed to use as much RAM as the device can handle. Unless Apple starts imposing strict RAM requirements per app so that you don't run out of memory, then multi-tasking will only be something we can dream of.

    Maybe when the iPhone gets 512MB RAM...

    WANT NOW. Hopefully iPhone 4Gen will have a processor and enough RAM capable of doing this. Hate quitting my radio app to reply to a txt

    @goaliegeek: There's a jailbreak app that lets you reply to a text from within the popup without closing the app you are using.

    @appletoad: There is also a jailbreak app that lets you continue playing the radio app when you go to open anything else. Jailbreak, there really is an app for that.

    And then the next Yanko concept artist could create an even more meta and useless variation - a software version of the hardware version that only displays 5 albums, doesn't move, and doesn't play.

    The Reason people like having CDs is because they are DRM free. As more digital Music becomes DRM free we will see a drop in CD sales.

    @gtaz19: CD audio quality is also better than the compressed files you get from the net.

    I got all excited thinking that cover was for some form of Fat Freddys Cat, the comic book series. Just another Apple post, I am so disappointed.

    @bruzie: I dont know if they are connected, but it was part of one of the funniest comics I ever read. [www.undergroundcollectibles.com] The only place I could find them was in a head shop with a sign out front advertising "T-shirts and Unique Gifts".
