&#62; <i>Google really needs to focus on building out the user experience so that average users can pickup the phone and don't want to put it down.</i><p>I think it's pretty clear that this is what Google itself is focusing on. The built in apps are, by most accounts, pretty slick.<p>Additionally, while people might not be clamoring for "multitasking" by name, they do want features like "my X program keeps working while I check the web", etc., so that's a bit off. I guess what's lacking for that to be an Android strength, is the 3rd party app that you <i>absolutely positively</i> want running in the BG.
