Re: [NTLK] OT Palm Pre

Hi:

I am not completely clear on what you are trying to say, but the point I was making is that the iPhone is limited because it does not, for the most part, allow multi-tasking background apps. This causes usability issues, like, for instance, with the Skype app. When that changes, the phone will leap once again, and I hope the OS 4.0 is not more of the same, but some GUI tweaks as well.

Here is a good real world take on the iPhone's limited multi-tasking abilities:
