Multitasking’s been a bugaboo for the iPhone since like forever, which Droid and the Pre have gleefully exploited. But what about Windows Phone 7? Well, it sounds like it multitasks in the same sense that the iPhone does. We asked Joe Belfiore, the director of Windows Phone, what’s up with multitasking, and here’s what he told us:
That sounds to us a lot like how the iPhone multitasks. That is, select processes, like push email, the browser and music can run in the background, but it sounds like third-party multitasking in the same sense as Android isn’t part of the program. Still, the compromise in WP7 sounds like a happy medium: Piping data into its hubs and live tiles, where you can see info from multiple apps, sounds like it could work really well. We’ll see.
