Recently, I read two posts, which were written two years apart but both thoroughly explained some fascinating concepts.
One is written by Fraser Speirs on how iOS manages multitasking, aimed at busting the myth of multitasking bar. The other is written by Remias Mate on how Android manages background processes, aimed at explaining how his app works. Although they had different purposes, they each gave a very detailed, easy-to-understand explanation on how each OS handles multitasking and memory usage.
In general, if you are an Android fan, next time you can laugh at your iOS counterpart on how iOS doesn't do "real" multitasking, and how you can determine which apps to run. If you are an iOS fan, you can surely enjoy your care-free style and let your Android friends know how you trust Steve Jobs (RIP) & Co, and not to mention all the battery life you are getting from that small battery of yours.
