Granted I prefer the N900's multi-tasking since you don't sacrifice anything. But games should still pause when you navigate away. Since there's no point in having a game running at 100% when you can't control it. =P

But I can see the value in the way the iPhone does it. But I guess it's that whole what makes a mobile computer vs. smartphone divide again. Which of course is up to each user's interpretation.
The same multitasking infrastructure is available on 10.6, so that should further blur the lines between a "smartphone" and a regular "computer" and all demarcations inbetween.
