Why is multitasking missing and how to hide the fact?
Windows Phone 7 at this very moment does not support Multitasking for 3rd party applications. There are a lot of reasons for that and as an IPhone user I could not agree more with this decision. Running different applications parallel means more power consumption, more memory consumption and higher cpu load. These factors directly lead to reduced User Experience, like your battery says goodbye in a couple of hours, the screen is not so smooth when using multitouch, it’s „lagging”, or changing between applications might get really slow.
