You clearly have misunderstood what multitasking is since what you're talking about is the user of the software that does the multitasking and not the computer. The fact that your e-mail client can download an e-mail without you looking at that particular program or that you can listen to music while surfing the web is multitasking.

On my iPad I don't close one application to activate another, I simply do a four finger swipe to switch between two different applications which is analogy similar to pressing Alt+Tab on my Windows laptop.
