Multitasking Apps.

Yeah, no kidding.
Everyone keeps asking when iOS 4 will be released, but it isn't much until all your apps are updated with the multi-tasking API's.
On the other hand, it will be interesting to compare how apps that are iOS 4 ready compare to those that aren't, particularly with fast app switching. I'd really like to know why it requires an API and what it does.

Tap Tap and Pandora worth both demoed at WWDC but I have yet to get an update to make them Multi-task enabled.

If a dev made the app 3.x compatible, it was already approved. If an update REQUIRES 4.0 it hasn't been approved yet. They'll all show up in the store starting later today. It happened with 3.0 last year too.

Thanks.
I do sort-of remember about 15 updates all at once last year when 3.0 came out
Apple has started letting 4.0 updates through the app store but I would assume most apps are waiting for official release
That link is terrible. I think the guy is pretty uninformed about what multi-tasking is.
For example. He claims Twitteriffic is going to be multitaskable. Yea... I suppose. But it isn't going to help him any since Twitteriffic can't poll for updates in the background. So at best it's going to have fast app switching and task completion (so tweets can be sent if you exit the app and recently posted one that hasn't yet completed).
Also, the Pandora link is pointing to 3.0.3 which is not iOS 4 multi-tasking enabled.
Just full of fail. I really would not look at this list as anything informative. It'll just confuse more people than it helps.
TuneIn Radio
(Wunder Radio, incidentally, hasn't updated for iOS 4 yet.)
Incidentally, thanks for this. I've been using Wunder Radio for a long time and didn't even know about TuneIn Radio...which is almost 1/4th of the price and has more features. Going to try it out.

This is a nice list that explains a bit, and is a much cleaner overall list.

My question is this. Without going to itunes to check, how does one know if the app in question is 4.0 compatible / multitasking enabled?
Skype is going to be sending out an update soon, but not in time for the iOS 4 release today.

Ok, wait.
You want a screen-shot of audio playing in the background?
What do you expect to see?
