hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocket now calm so windows phone 7 series is not supposed to have multi tasking mean meaning you can't run an application go back to the start screen work on something else and still have that first application be running in the background some native x can do it like like you'll find on the iphone it's not supposed to work with third-party apps one of our readers Kevin sent in a little snippet of code to run on an emulator that shows oddly some multitasking behavior and perhaps this is because windows phone 7 series isn't finished yet or what we really don't know why let me just show you what I'm talking about so I'm going to go to the application list and go to a simple video player called play around so here we are I'm going to press continue and hopefully you can hear the video in the background and in a second I'm going to go back to the start screen and you should hear the video actually continue to play and this is not the native video player this is something that this person has created so you go back to the start screen and here we are and I can click around do other things and I'm sure you still hear the video in the background very very strange and if we go back to the application list the video is still playing very strange we're not sure what this means we think it's just a coincidence and that you know a few emulator versions from now we won't see this but it's an interesting thing to see will speculate on it later that's it for now
