This isn't why I want multitasking on the iPhone. I just want to be able to reply to an SMS or IM without having to close down whatever I was in the middle of, especially when it is listening to music outside of the built in iPod. The phone seems capable of allowing me to run various apps when I have an active phone call, and can also pop up a dialog alerting me to a message, so why can't I reply right there? The Pre does this, even if it is done by having web apps.
