What? No background apps? Hurry-Switch to MS/Android before it is too late!

Interesting premise - releasing a limited SDK for a limited device somehow will make it even harder for Apple to sell all those iPhones.

I guess I had better ditch my iPhone and go back to my Windows Mobile phone. After all, what's the use in continuing to use my iPhone when I know that no one will ever be able to write a multitasking app? Sigh....
