To see your open apps, you simply double-click the home button and a "dock" showing all of your open apps will pop up at the bottom of the screen.

All of the mobile other platforms have some kind of multitasking system, though some are more elegant than others. Visually, I like the Leap feature in HTC's for Android, which lets you pinch to view seven thumbnail versions of your open pages. From there, you can go to any of those open applications.

I also love as it is visually striking and easy to use, but it does seem to be a drain on battery life and performance.

Predictably, there's no support for live widgets (ala or ) in the new OS. Nor is there a home page you can customize with said widgets. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though it does limit the level of customization on the phone.
