Windows Phone 7 Won't Support MicroSD Cards, Multitasking
Kudos to them
Was a big issue with Legacy WinMo when I'd go to launch an app and the card reader lost contact with it. Just give the phone 16GB+ of Flash memory.
2) Kudos to Microsoft for realizing the way WinMo multitasks is worse than no multitasking at all. The downside is- Palm already figured out decent multitasking, and I'm sure Apple's working on something.
Why would you want 30+ apps open at the same time? That's pointless and just sucks your battery dry. The only OS that even makes a decent case for multitasking is WebOS. The rest of it boils down more to background audio playback (nice) and location based services (nice as well.)
And what exactly is so unique about how WebOS handles multitasking compared to Maemo???
The other option is to just cache an application's state in memory when it is sent into the background (which is what the iPhone does btw)
Your computer, when a program is idle, still has to use power to maintain that idle power. The power to do that may not be much, but it will add up to a shorter battery life.
Back onto the car using gas... One engine idling won't use much gas. You put 10 engines idling on that same "tank" of gas, and you'll run out of gas sooner.
Not exactly rocket science once you realize that idle does NOT mean zero cpu use.

2. No Multitasking on a Windows phone? Are they looking for teenagers who only do one thing, or business users who care to not be productive.
Just wondering.
2. Plenty of business users use iPhones (literally ALL of my clients do) and don't seem to have an issue. Somehow I don't think too many professionals desire to open up a task manager. Just saying.

I can see Android winning over winmo with the choices they are making. Ive used apps2sd and yes im one of those people that like to have no limit on how much crap i can load onto my phone. I never had any problems with sd cards. I also think by your argumengs your just biased.
This dude does not know what he is talking about. Ive own 2 blackberries, touchpro II, Moto Droid, Voyager, and a Treo... I've never had any problems with any of my sd card. I think Microsoft is going in the wrong direction. And this is coming from someone who actually is a fan of a few windows mobile phones.

Multitasking isn't necessary as much as memory and resource management is. That's why no professional carriers around a WinMo phone nowadays.

Sure cause all the business users are doing work on their Iphones. Are you ****in kidding me. Most business users are using either a blackberry or a windows mobile platform phone. Infact the Touch Pro II which run on windows mobile was rated (by business users) as the best business phone of 2009. As a matter of fact most corporations or firm's IT department only support Blackberry or Windows Mobile.
If I don't want multitasking then I will go with a dumbphone. I expect all smartphones to be able to ...

... and by the way, there will be no copy-and-paste. It is quoted that business users use copy-and-paste.
