However, the pocket pc component is not multitasking at all.

The iPortable devices *do* multitask. Surfing the web or emailing a photo while holding a phone call open requires performing two tasks at once. So does playing music while websurfing or emailing, which these devices also do. What you want, and what iPortable devices do *not* have, is unlimited 3rd-party background tasking, so that you can run your Pandora app while you're websurfing. (That's not the only possible use case, but it seems to be the one everyone cites.) If you want to complain about that lack, fine, but overreaching it just makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about.
