Quad core iPhone on the way?

Apple iPhone * 4?
Jason at ZDNet has just released a rumor discussing the possibility of the next iPhone containing a 4 core processor. While he does talk about pure processing power, there real benefit would be the much better ability to perform and support multitasking 
. Essentially, this would mean developers (including Apple themselves) would have much more power to perform functions apart from the application running at the time. Essentially, this implementation would greatly improve the chances of getting copy/paste, quick switching, and most importantly services/applications/notifications running in the background. Initially it would seem to be purely about processing power, but it would allow the architecture to better support features iPhone fan-boys have been ranting about since its first release.
