    Your comment is misleading.

    You can easily switch back and forth between applications and there is no real functionality lost.

    True you can't run 3 applications simultaneously on the screen at one time or something, but you can do several tasks and switch back and forth.

    How do you explain being talking on the phone, and then switching to notepad or calendar to check something or enter some data, then switching back to the phone call (still in progress?)

    When I exit a game, then switch back to it it's still in progress...
