Multi-tasking,
not application swapping
• Both Apple iOS4 and Google
Android have multi-tasking
limitations
Most apps are ‘paused’ when
• BlackBerry Tablet OS offers true
multi-tasking
• Apps can continue to run even
when not in foreground• Most apps are ‘paused’ when
not in foreground
• Apple tightly constrains third-
party multi-tasking
• Android arbitrarily kills apps
that aren’t in foreground
when not in foreground
• Third-party apps have full
ability to multi-task
• Conservative strategy for
embedded systems (no
arbitrary app killing)
