Fresh news and rumors from Ars Technica today:

• It’s confirmed that the iPhone on the USA is holding strong on its second position after RIM, which is good news in a time of the year that sells tend to stagnate as users expect an upgraded version being released soon. Android is growing strong at the cost of Palm and Win Mobile, which is great news for Google (source Ars Technica).
• The rumor of the day goes (predictably) to reinforced belief that the awaited iPhone OS 4.0 revision will bring multitasking for third party apps. It’s still to be confirmed it true, and the terms that Apple may include for this new usage (source, Ars Technica).
