The iPad OS (also the iPhone OS, called iOS) is multitasking as of release 4.0. Incidentally, it too is a UNIX-based platform...only its user interface (pre-4.0 anyway) prevented user-visible multitasking. -DaveI don't know about Android, but I have a Nokia N900 running Maemo and there you can install a debian and get binaries for the armel architecture via the package manager. So at least the processor architecture is supported. I have gschem (1.6.1.20100214) and pcb (20091103) installed, the screen is a bit tiny, but thinking of Tablets runnig Meego that seems to a a viable option.
I think this too (I have a N900 too).Maemo (I'll wait the same from Meego) is a "good" environment with multitask, and easy change between task, and (I think) "easy" to port apps (Debian install option in Maemo is great).
Instead, I don't like Android (I have a Entourage Edge with Android 1.6): no "real multitasking", no "easy change between task", "google register needed" (or apktor, aptoide option, this is I use, with too much less apps), and no easy porting of apps (go, for example, to VLC and read about).
But, I'm afraid that Android will be a sucess (thanks to Nokia and his ugly comercial vision).
About Ios I don't know, only use ocasionally on IPod and Iphone of some friends.
I was asked this too some time ago, because, I view that tablets and other devices (like e-readers with double screen) with Android/Maemo/Meego are going to users, and is a opportunity for the free world to "hit first".
