What on Earth does this have to do with this article? Whyh get an Android phone if you don't want to multi-task? Download TaskPanel.

There is a difference between intentional multitasking and unintentional multitasking

I love Swype. Been using it since I had my Omnia and now with my Droid. Quick hint for the double letters, draw a circle on the letter as you're swyping and it'll work 95% of the time. At least for me it does. I'm going to try this keyboard and see if it helps with speed at all. More than likely I'll be back with Swype by dinner time though. As for the application closing problems, just get either Advanced Task Killer Free or Taskiller in the market. They both close the running apps 1 at a time or in batches and you can also black list (or white list....whatever you want to call it) apps that you don't want to close also. Check them out.

I do use the Advanced Task Killer, it is just the personal preference of having the individual kill switch when i am done with something instead of having to go to the extra step. Basically nitpicking.

I completely understand both sides. I was a little annoyed about apps not closing, but after using the iPhone that closes everything and then going to a new app and then having to open the other again and go through all the menus to get back where I was, I would much rather deal with Android and apps that stay open. Also the Nexus for me with the memory and 1Ghz proc. I don't have to use task killer, it runs just as fast and just as long no matter how many apps are running. I still think the feel of the iPhones keyboard is a little nicer, but with the Nexus it's very close. Can't wait to see how device technology keeps progressing.

Use Advanced Task Manager Free. It lets you place a widget on your home screen that with one touch will kill anything that is open, unless you have told it not to in the settings. I love it.

does the iphone really have the best touchscreen? and the Hero is not comparible to the Nexus One or Droid. Hero is only 3.2" 480x320 res.

The Hero is awesome and extremely comparable.
