What more do you expect from PC Magazine? Did they test it on an iPhone4? I'll bet not. Apps will have to be made multi-task aware. What a poor job of research and writing...

I hear Apple Magazines say negative things of windoze computers...

PC World and PC Magazine are horrible publications that will say anything when paid by their advertisers.

That's like saying TMZ is a creditable news source.

I consider my phone a Personal Computer, it has twice the "computing" power or my first "PC" and can do almost everything my desktop can

Yup, they are pretty accurate. That's what happens when the guy who runs it is an attorney! Seldom do they run news without verification.

What does that have to do with anything. The fact that most current apps can't multi-task, because they have to be rewritten to specifically use the new multi-tasking API's is true regardless of the device from what I can gather.
