So it turns out that Windows Phone 7 does support multitasking and does support SQL CE. It’s just that you can’t have it because Microsoft doesn’t want you writing shitty apps that show their phone in a poor light (at least that’s the “not-quite-so-between-the-lines” take-away from today’s New York City launch event.)

Funny thing about my Android phone. It ran like crap with lousy battery life until I rooted it and removed the junk Sprint pre-loaded on it. We’re about two weeks away from GA of Windows Phone 7 and all the demos are still pre-production units. It will be interesting to see how much stuff AT&T and T-Mobile preload on these phones (that you, of course, cannot remove.)
