I regularly do 4 or 5 things at the same time, I don't see what's special about it. Many activities go on the autopilot and only require a fraction of your attention and awareness. When you learn to ride a bicycle, you might need your full attention, but once you have mastered this ability, you can easily enjoy music while riding on the bicycle. If you sit in a bar, usually they have music playing in the background that you can listen to even while having a conversation (provided they don't play it too loud). Likewise, there is no reason why you can't enjoy an audiobook while listening to music.

Well, that's the kind of multitasking I've been enjoying for a long time on my HTC.. and I see that iPhone users are indeed still waiting for it. :-)) Multitasking is multitasking.. on the PC you also have many programs running at the same time, so it's only natural to expect this from a pocket computer. If the iPhone is not a pocket computer it's probably because Apple has severely limited it's functionality to the point where it's more of a toy phone than a real pocket computer like the HTC PPC.
