Windows Phone 7 Won't Support MicroSD Cards, Multitasking
Whats the point then?
But realistically, why do you to run applications in the background? If you 'close' a web browser- it's more efficient to have it cached in the physical memory than to sit there eating up RAM and CPU cycles.
Complaining about the battery life on a smartphone is like complaining about the fuel economy on a Dodge Viper, citing a Toyota Prius as a comparison.
A Dodge Viper is a niche device. Smartphones are not niche devices anymore.
And disabling drive to two wheels doesn't improve fuel economy. You have to take out the extra diffs and axles as well to reduce rotational inertia, drag, and weight, all three of which reduce fuel economy on a 4WD car.

For an app like Pandora, it means you can't listen to streaming audio while surfing the web.
Otherwise, there isn't that much of a difference. The main benefit is that ba...
