It's incredible how much time we waste on these issues
I think some of us work harder than the PAID Nokia\Apple marketing people on trying to push our platforms of choice.. in the end, what is it that you are trying to accomplish by convincing others of how RIGHT YOU ARE anyway?

I don't much care on how much ppl love or hate certain products, but I think factual errors *should* be straightened:

Yabbas:
- the iphone *can* multitask but it is currently limited by the UI design. Audio playback in the background is one supported by the default firmware. 3rd party (unofficial) software extends this to email and IM. If you ssh into the iphone, you can run things on cron, etc.
- Right now most 3rd party apps are free. Including the popular Crayon Physics based on Box2d has already been ported to it.
- Firmware upgrades don't cost money for the iphone. Who knows what it's gonna be like in the future.
- A2DP stack is going to be included in future firmware update. It doesn't seem like they're holding this feature intentionally because it's detracting from the value of the device as music player anyway. More like development schedules, just like the unfinished SDK.
- Video playback: CorePlayer (TCPMP) has already shown a working demo for the iphone. It's the best player for WinMo & Palm currently. Plays video better on my Treo 680 than mplayer on my n800. from wma, divx, ogg, mpg, 3gp, mkv, avi, etc.

But who am I kidding, you don't care about all this right?
And I personally don't care which platform 'wins', cause I collect them all..
