Report: iPhone 4.0 software to support multitasking
For iPhone users who yearn for multitasking on their handsets, a new report suggests that Apple is looking to include the function in its next OS software.
Love Apple’s iPhone, but envy Android and Palm users who can run more than one app at the same time?

Questions that remain once Apple flips the multitask switch:

- What part push alerts will play now that apps can run in the background
