The biggest surprise for me was the apparent introduction of a "double tap" action to switch between apps in the new multitasking view. I couldn't understand what the advantage of that was over a single tap.

Has Apple used "double tap" in iOS before? It seems like something they'd studiously avoided in the past.

Double and triple click have been used for quite a while now http://www.flickr.com/photos/adurdin/4944720731/lightbox/

    I don't mean the home button. I mean tapping the screen. I just remembered it's used for the keyboard capslock, anywhere else?

      I don't think that's double tapping, I think it's just not picking up taps properly while the items are still in motion due to the momentum in the scroll. The first time he seems to be able to single tap.
