What kind of multitasking is it that you want to do on a small
handheld that is so crucial? I don't have have an iPhone, but
I do have an iPod Touch, and I can surf the web or compose
an email, etc. while listening to music, and you can do more
than one thing at a time of this sort with the iPhone, too. On
those things where you can't do two things at a time, like using
turn directions and answer a call, you pause the app long
enough to answer the call, then you resume the app at the
point where you left off, running the app and taking the call
at the same time.
Think also of some of the multitasking limitations specific to the
Droid (though not to the android platform in particular).
Because of Verizon's CDMA network limitations, the Droid won't
be able to do voice and data apps at the same time, and I am
not really clear on whether or not it can have more than one
data stream at the same time (anyone know?).
So what kind of multitasking is it that the Droid can do that
the iPhone's limited multitasking can't do that you think might
be really compelling?

Some people need or want different things from their cell phone. For
me the
killer feature is multitasking, this makes up for any issues their
might
be. Android isn't just good enough, its a solid choice. The
iPhone lacks
features and so does the android platform, I just find android to be
lacking less for what I do.
