Always interesting to see a new users perspective. Congrats on your choice / desire to try something new. Recommendations for you. Try the WSJ, USAToday, NYT apps. You may like Twitterfon or TweetDeck. Kindle is worth trying. There’s some games too which are just amazing – if you have the time. However the portfolio of apps I use everyday remains relatively small.

Duh, I didn’t try the obvious: hit the home button in the call! Ok, that’s cool, thanks, everyone!

Lucie: Toby (my cat) used to like paper wads as well (he liked playing cards, too) but he’s about twice as old as Cleo and has grown lazy.

Have an upgraded iPod Touch – love it. I bought it last year primarily for music, to replace an iPod Nano, but have used it for so much more. The app store is wonderful and it does take self-control to avoid running up a big bill.
The other reason I’m commenting is that your cat looks almost exactly like my cat, body type and all. Mine is named Cleo and she’s nine years old. Her favorite activity, aside from eating, is chasing paper wads. She runs over to the printer whenever I turn it on, hoping I’ll make a paper wad for her.

I guess it’s now iPhoneboy You will find that you can multi-task with Apple’s own apps. While on a phone call, you can jump to another app (even send an email) while the call is in progress, phone app runs in the background. The whole background process issue was Apple restricting what 3rd party app people could do, thereby protecting battery performance, security, general aloofness etc…

Glad to hear you are enjoying your new iPhone.
You can actually make a voice call and run other apps, I’ve often done this to check on a calendar entry while talking to someone on the phone. In that case the iPhone displays a green bar at the top of screen to show you still have an active call.
I’m currently on the iPhone 3G, but will upgrade to 3GS as soon as O2 allow me to.

Cheers.

You can multi-task in a call. You can launch apps., look up contacts, surf the web etc. while a call is on. It puts a glowing green bar at the top of the screen when a call is active. Tapping it returns to the call app. UI.

Hey, just so you know, while you’re on a call you can, in a sense, ‘multi-task’. If you hit the home button you can launch and use any apps while still on the call (if you have 3G or WiFi that is).
