Can a person run TTN6 in the background?

Everytime the phone rings or I want to change an e=book I have to reset the Navigator.

Can it run in the background?

What brand is your PDA? The problelm you're encountering might just be a setting somewhere or maybe you're running out of memory. I never had this problem with my Qtek S100. Unfortunately I don't have it anymore, still saving up for a Tytn II.

I have a Treo 650 with Tomtom Navigator 6.

You must be running Windows Mobile 5 right? Most probably you're running out of memory. Programs in a Windows mobile environment don't permanently close when clicking on the "X" icon. Using Task Manager, close all other programs that are in the background.

Palm/Treo units cannot multitask. They can only run one program at a time. It's a limitation of the operating system. So no, it's essentially impossible.

On a Treo, you can start a conversation on the phone, then turn on other programs. But not the other way around.

Palm/Treo units cannot multitask.

Am I right in saying Palm/Treos running Palm OS cannot multitask but Palm/Treos running Windows mobile can?

Yes, that's correct.

Maybe the new Palm OS, when it comes out 2109, will be able to run 2 programs at once. Also, it will finally support 802.11b and have a screen larger than 3". By then of course, everything will be run by telepathy
