Hello,
I just got mine, and the first thing I noted (after Sony's usual, incompetent setup routine), was the multitasking.
It's somewhat reminicent of WebOS, and really was easy to use. No long press keys, no wierd stuff. Just press the "home/PS" key, and it brings you to the app state screen (can kill task), once again, and it will bring you to the app switching screen (though you can do this by draggin left or right in the app state, OR the homescreen), once more, and you will be back at the home screen.
It may seem like a lot of home button presses, however, it just seems... right.
I've accused the UI of being designed by a 5 year old, and it shows. It's that easy to use, yet still retains a lot of functionality. Heck, just setting the background to all black (to preserve the OLED display) makes it look so much better allready.
So I guess what I was getting to is this:
MS, if there is any multitasking system you want to aim towards... it's either WebOS or Sony's PSV.
Have fun!
