Naturally, we need to first disclaim this noise by saying that rumors of third-party multitasking capability in the iPhone are as old as the iPhone SDK itself. That said, it's hard to ignore a new reference to a "multitasking dialog box" buried deep within the iPhone SDK 3.2 beta that -- while not new to beta 4 specifically -- we're told didn't exist in 3.1.3. Now, the wildest possible speculation would have us believing that this is the very first by-product of a new multitasking system for developers that's being developed for the platform, presumably destined for an appearance in OS 4.0 when it's introduced along with new hardware this summer -- but it's just as likely that Apple will continue to keep the iPhone's multitasking capability to itself, a function it uses liberally among the phone and music apps, just to name a couple. For what it's worth, AppleInsider is citing a tipster claiming that Apple's got a "full-on solution" to multitasking that would properly address its main concern -- battery life issues -- for release this year, so maybe we'll be able to chuck those awful push notifications before we know it. Now if you'll excuse us, we'll be over here in the corner running a few dozen apps on our Pre Plus .

Yup, it'll probably only be "officially" supported on the 3GS and 4th gen iphone.
there is a legit reason for this and it's that 2G and 3G iphone only have 128MB of RAM.
You can probably run two 3rd party apps at once, but any other process that eats up ram (safari is a huge culprit) will start auto-killing apps starting with 3rd party first.
I've experienced this first hand with my jailbroken 3G.
3GS shouldn't have much issues, tho.
but how else is apple gonna con you into buying their "latest and greatest?"
@One Love
Yes, that is technically considered multitasking. The iPhone already can multitask in the strict sense of the word, but Apple only allows their own programs (i.e. the dialer application and Safari) to run in the background. So its multitasking capabilities are closed to all third-party applications, and the programs that are allowed to multitask are relatively basic. These limitations on background processes render what little multitasking the iPhone does do essentially negligible.
