Multitasking is the capacity of a computer to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Tombstoning is being used on Windows mobile but when it is not being used, it is likened with a napping state of an app or program.

Multitasking is the capacity of a computer to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Tombstoning is being used on Windows mobile but when it is not being used, it is likened with a napping state of an app or program.

The main difference between tombstoning & multitasking is that one uses memory and one doesn't. One of big issues with the Android operating system is that when the client feels they have left the program, apps remain in the background utilizing resources.

Telephones with multitasking abilities use vital resources and have a shorter batter life than telephones without multitasking. This is the major reason why Microsoft is choosing to use tombstoning rather than multi tasking on phones.
