Well, to address your concerns; 1) synergy is a nonsense word -- it is a marketing B.S. word with no meaning. 2) you obviously don't know anything about android if you think it doesn't multitask. Learn how to use it and it is great. There are two big things to think about regarding multitasking... there are activities and there are services. Activities are typically UI elements and thus, if that activity isn't in the foreground, there is no reason for it to be active. Services run in the background. If you want to develop a program capable of demonstrating high multitasking, you develop it as a service and develop an activity to interface with it, that way the application continues to operate in the background when you close the UI. Of course, many applications aren't designed for background operation, and that is simply a choice of the developer (i.e., there may be no reason for the app to run in the background) and not a reflection of the platform. 3) Yeah, it wouldn't be too bad if the contact email address linked up with the email apps a little more strongly. Don't see any reason to worry about sms/mms nonsense though when you have full email capabilities -- they really are pointless. Facebook and twitter nonsense crap should absolutely be KEPT OUT. I don't want that crap anywhere near my phone, so if you really want them, add third party apps. 4) You seem to have missed the app labelled as "Google Talk" -- that is a native IM app.
