That's kind of what some of the folks here are getting at. People can't really multitask - they can't concentrate effectively on more than one thing at a time. You can switch back and forth rapidly, but your performance suffers (at both activities).
I don't think that's a good enough reason to ban anything that distracts the driver, but certainly, anything that is taking your eyes and/or brainpower heavily off of the road (like composing messages, or reading) is highly dangerous.
