I can’t work out if the much-heralded multitasking is actually multitasking at all. The main reason I was excited about the upgrade is that I would be able to use the phone while listening to an audio from apps that aren’t iPod, which already runs in the background. In my case, I listen to streaming asx radio using FStream, and music over Last.fm. Yet despite having installed the new firmware, I find that all the so-called multitask bar appears to do is list the apps that I ran recently. If I switch from one app to another, it just seems to relaunch the app from the start. Am I just being impatient - in that the apps I’m using haven’t yet been upgraded to multitask/suspend mode? Or is there something else I’m missing? Also, bonus question: how the hell do you create app folders? I’ve found lots of articles saying it’s possible, but none that actually tell you how to do it. Thanks! ---

You will need updated apps to take advantage of the new multitasking mode. Apple has set up a [special area](http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/25/best-ios-4-apps/) in the App Store highlighting those apps. To create App folders, drag one app icon over another. ---
