You know, most of the above also applies to Fremantle ;-) The underlying OS is more than capable, but the brilliant "UX designers" typically castrate it.

What's on the first post looks more like gadgets than multitasking to me -- like old world Macs. You still need to code the floating "widgets" separately ; they cannot be normal applications. So exactly like DAs in old PalmOS.
In fact, both Android and iOS can do something better which is to run actual applications in windows:

But you are still limited to the usual design limitations of a mostly monotasking environment. You cannot open more than one window from the same application, so no composing of multiple emails, no multiple chat windows, no copying and pasting of word documents...
Garbage.

In regards to multiple emails and such, with overskreen app you can open up multiple window for browsers to access emails. Also for copying and pasting with editor you can copy to clipboard which is saved so you can use in another document. Of the five apps shown in the first post you can open multiple windows with OverSkreen, hovernote, aircalc and stickit. There is another app called airterm which can make multiple floating terminals and I can use to ssh into ubuntu on my GN1). I just opened three of airterm, Overskreen, hovernote, and aircalc simultaneouly. So 12 open windows on my galaxy note screen. And, why not, fired up Angry Birds. My screen looks like a total mess! But I'm multitasking...

Can Android phones do this simple thing?

just one (out of many) good true multitasking example.

I rather use multi view over this. That's why you should have several devices so you get the best of everything

The RAM I just ordered for my laptop turned out to be incompatible. For support I used my n900 to start a live support chat in the browser. While I was on the chat I had to look up my order number in an email, and while I was doing that a work call came in (over SIP), that I had to answer. So I was on speakerphone, and copying information from my email into a live chat in the browser.
Honest question, can other smartphones do that? It seems like a fairly basic thing so I'd assume that Android and iPhone shouldn't have a problem with it, but I can also see the browser getting frozen in the background and losing the live chat connection.

I can do it on my phone, but I'm not sure about the iPhone. There was a time that you couldnt but that was when I had iOS 3 (?) on the i3G.

Often at work I am SSHd into my n900 doing computer type stuff WHILE using it as a music player and taking calls.
Hell, sometimes I am SSHd into my phone, SSHd into my server, SSHd into my router at home!
