I guess the question is, will the new OS be released within 60 days and if the new OS will support multitasking/flash?

I think there is a strong possibility that multitasking will come in OS 4. The increasing amount of memory and processing power in the iPhone device lineup makes this likely. Keep in mind that they took over a year to implement cut and paste - they will take their time and come up with an elegant way of handling multiple background tasks. The iPhone OS is fully capable of multitasking and multithreading, its just not exposed for 3rd party developers, nor is there a user interface for managing it.
Flash is never going to show up on these devices. I have no passion on the issue (well, I do run a flash blocker and find the web a much less "flashy" place), but I don't think it will happen.
