3. I can run IM programs in the "background" by using jailbreak or using an app with notifications.
4. I can listen to music in the background, just not Internet radio. And how does watching TV in the background make any sense?
5. I have a very strong WIFI signal, with few drops, if ever.
6. When I read, I lock the accelerometer just fine in Stanza and the Kindle app.
7. I can re-arrange apps where I want them to be. What else do you need to do on a phone?
And you'll not be able to make a call cause the battery will be dead before you get to making the call. This is why I like a device that does what the device is meant to do. So when I want to do something, I'll have the battery left to do it. Sure, the iPhone can do lots of things. But those lots of things eat up the battery.
