I can edit 4k video easier on my cell phone than I can on my desktop... I paid $700 for the phone and $3500 for the desktop. The phone takes about 10 watts while editing 4k video, the desktop takes over 700 watts.
The phone's ARM SoC is optimized for 4k video, cpu, gpu, storage all working together. The PC needs a $1000 cpu, a $1000 gpu and $1500 worth of drives to barely keep up with what the phone is doing. The PC uses brute force to convert the video into something it's outdated architecture can understand, and then when it's time to convert it back into a web format again, well, grab a few beers, it's gonna take a while.
Yes, Android/ARM does not multitask well. Only one "task" is really held in the foreground at one time, and background apps really suffer. Gdetrailer, you and I are dinosaurs in this technology game. Modern apps have no need for client side multitasking. A web based environment keeps the multitasking on the server, stored in a database, managed by sessions.
There are a few business apps out there that work very well on Android/Arm, through the cloud. The State of Michigan's emergency management app is beautiful. It's all HTML-5 based, no Java, no Flash, no "requires Internet Explorer 6." It multitasks great, allowing teams large and small to effectively communicate, sharing information and resources, using whatever device they have, as long as it has a modern browser.
