The difference is which operating system is the most efficient at starting and stopping programs so that it doesn't feel like they are actually switching back and forth. What makes QNX a real time OS is that it can guarantee a response time to an event, it's designed to respond to important events(that are dictated by the programmer) which is why it multitasks so well. Its certainly capable of running multiple windows at the same time....every OS is. It can already run a carousel of apps at the same time as cards, it is not magic to make two of them fill up the screen beside eachother.
Where in the **** do you BB guys get your technical information? Good lord

You lost cred on your very first sentence when you said one core can run only one program at a time.
And Android can have two programs actually RUNNING at the same time...like two videos. No, it's not magic, it's not an illusion...it's innovation...something no one else seems to care about over the past 3-4 years.

And to the part you added in later, they could have 100 videos running at the same time if they had a good enough processor and enough memory. Its an illusion though because they aren't actually running at the same time(unless you have multiple cores), they are just switching back and forth so fast that it seems that way.
I hope you're kidding. And I hope you're not working in the tech industry.

My Personal Opinion. I think we have already seen the best that BB10 has to offer
I agree with the original poster.
RIM has made the most revolutionary change in it's history ever going from their OS7 to OS10. That itself was a monumental feat that consumed the company for 2 years, but it was an investment in themselves to allow them going forward for the next 10 years and ability to expand and build upon this QNX platform.
I don't expect to see everything, and I hope not to. I think we see BB10 helping to stop the loss of Blackberry users for now and maybe winning some back. I expect more dev support over time, more must-have apps, and more efficient RIM concentrating on a few devices (like Apple) so it becomes a more profitable company.
I want RIM to give us a solid experience, not one with many features that are half-baked or buggy. So if it takes time, let them take time and do it right. We don't want another "Mapplegate" or similar problem.
Let us hope for a solid BB10 adoption and slow but steady growth that puts them ahead of Windows phone. Rome was not conquered in a day.

Rickroller had no trouble finding a great example of how well Android can multitask. Seems like it would be even easier to find evidence of BlackBerry 10 multitasking better than that. Considering that for months we've seen people going on and on about "real-time os" that and "industry leading multitasking" this.
I think a lot of people here should lower their expectations a tad bit. I'm sure BlackBerry is capable of doing some great things. But so far, I haven't seen any evidence of it doing any of those great things. I certainly haven't seen it multitask as well as Android will.
High expectations = a invitation for disappointment.
You won't find an example today, you won't find one a month from now...the reason being is that it doesn't and will not exist any time in the near future.
