Now why don't you back up the definition that you made up with a link to a definition.
Two or more tasks at once i.e. Safari, Mail, iTunes will all run at once on an iPhone.
Running a slideshow in the photo App while playing music with iTunes = multitasking.
There are no if's or but's the iPhone multitasks under the accepted definition of multitasking.

The iPhone CAN multitask, its got UNIX under the hood, the first true multitasking OS.
Its not allowed for 3rd party apps at the moment, but that doesnt mean its not possible. Backgrounder is really easy to install and will allow apps to run in the bacround:

And before you say "you need to get a third party app" or whatever, third party developers are the most innovative and come up with the best software.

Seems like you are not alone in your quest...
to prove the non existing multitasking on iPhone.
But it seems you haven't read the article...
"The iPhone has the same virtual memory system, but doesn’t have gigabytes of RAM or a hard drive to use as a Virtual Memory swap space. Instead, it has 128MB of RAM, of which something like 11MB appears to be used for VRAM and 19MB looks to be used by system overhead, leaving around 76MB reported by sysctl as user memory.
By limiting the amount of background processes running, the iPhone’s OS X can offer more of that available RAM to the foreground application, along with a less distracted processor. "
Here's another link that you won't be so thankful about
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/Look_everyone_Multitasking_does_work_after_all_And_has_been_doing_so_for_a_decade_and_a_half.php
It'll explain to you in detail that iPhone can't multi task and also why.

Yet another OS. I doubt that in the long run, this profusion of OS's will be benefitial to the costumer. Some will inevitably die.

iPhone 2.0 SDK: The No Multitasking Myth
March 13th, 2008
"...Less is More; More with Less.
So while the iPhone has a better multitasking kernel than WinCE, its engineers knew better than to deliver a system like Microsoft’s, which could seemingly do everything on paper, but in reality could do nothing very well and subsequently couldn’t sell either. Instead, the engineered limitations of the iPhone 2.0 SDK will make the device more useful to users..."
Thanks for the link which proves the iPhone multitasks by ALL accepted definitions.

Where on plane t earth did I say iPhone multitasks.
I say iPhone does not multi task and all what you are saying (i.e. I agreee with you)
My initial definition (@ 2009-12-10 09:35) was to counter a quoted definition from a dictionary by Anonymous (@ 2009-12-10 09:16) and which implied that iPhone cannot switch between the UI's of different applications cause it can't minimize the one that is open.
On record iPhone can't multitask.

so not in the english language, not in the smarphone definition, not in Steve Jobs definition... where in the world does the iPhone multitask? In the advanced technical world, where every phone multitasks as this is requiered for a mobile to work.
But it does not multitask on an application level.
You cant fool anyone.
The Bada OS multitasks, the iPhone OS, at least not at this point.
who is the jealous person here? the one that try in everyway to convince people that the iPhone can do something it cant, or the one buying other phones, cause the iPhone cant do it.
You have revealed the truth, you badly wish the iPhone could multitask, you see the purpose of it... but you try to convince yourself and other, that the few functions on the iPhone that can be done simultaniously on the iphone is all you need, and that that is the true definition of multitasking (but not according the the smartphone community, not according to steve jobs, and not accoridng to an english dictionary).

Multitasking is when you work with more than one task at the same time. This could be done with the help of computers or phones. but also with paper and pen, a typewriter. It could be bouncing a ball, while frying an egg.
But the definition has nothing to do with smartphones, in the English language.
So if you want to try to come across as an english professor, make sure that the other person doesnt actually know... you only come across foolish.

... morethe smartphone definition of multitasking is real multitasking, where you could have any two or more applications open at the same time.
not limited to just apple applications.
What if you want to run spotify, and text or browse at the same time?
Or open an office document and copy paste from a webpage.
Edit photos for uploading, while uploading other photos.
No, the iPhone does not multitask, not even Steve Jobs say it does.
So the definition of multitasking is in no language what the iPhone does.
