"Please give us real multitasking, like Android"

Please DO NOT.

OLPC wanted to halt the CPU from time to time to reduce consume and discovered that it was feasible... if only the software let them. A lot of linux apps were designed using polling that make that impossible to do, so they had to modify it and remove the polling in all apps, a huge task that took an enormous effort.

Steve Jobs, who is not stupid learned from them and decided to not let coders be lazy with iOS so the same battery rocks way more than Android.

The difference between "What App develovers want", and "what iOS users want". Long battery life.
