iPhone/iPad OS 4.0 has multitasking - Page 2

my 3G has taken a beating so it will probably get replaced with a refurb'd 3GS over the next couple months. It would be nice to be able to muti-task.

eh, it can be helpful if you have a laptop and want to surf and don't have wifi nearby, but you do have cell service. I plan to use it a lot when I go on my cross country trip.

I'm sure its useful to people, but probably wouldn't be for me.

That works too but you're paying ~ $50/month vs free to $10 for tethering.

Never had a problem finding wifi...or I just use my BB. Certainly wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
