as said, the multitasking is more like fast app switching and state saving unless the app in question is using one of the specific background APIs, like the music one for spotify.

though location services and task completion aren't always as obvious but i don't think many apps make use of them. ( except maybe co-pilot but im sure it'll be updated again if it's causing issues)

Didn't know you could double click the home button! Thought that was new with 4.0!

Previous version I think it brought up your phone favourites, which I never used. Definitely more useful now then!

Wonder if Google Maps uses the background location service. Might account for things if so.

There is a blue arrow icon that shows up if an app is using location services, even if in the background.

I'm glad I did, obviously it didn't break like poor Kate's, but it's awesome now! Multitasking & folders have changed it so much it's like a new phone!

if you've got a 3GS it's totally worth it and great. 3g just can't handle it though.

Same!

Well, except for multitasking going wrong on me, but that's a minor inconvenience.

Going to be interesting to hear what they say tomorrow. Market analysts are suggesting it's been a bit of a PR disaster so far. I can see their point. Wonder if anyone will ask about iPhone 3G performance. Wonder if the answer will be 'upgrade then'.
