Pogue says...
"Still, the Droid’s multitasking pays off in two situations: when you
want to listen to Internet radio while you work in other apps, and
when you’re switching between programs a lot. Since they’re already
open, you don’t have to wait for them to start up again with each
switch."

The Motorola Droid, Latest Entry in the ‘App Phone’ Races
I ask Pogue:
1) Is it really a good idea to listen to Internet radio on a cell
phone? That's quite an expensive radio.
2) How many apps can I expect to have running at once? Even though I
have multi-GB of RAM in my desktop computer I still see a noticeable
delay what I have too much open at once and the computer has to page
in memory for an application before I can use it. So even on my multi-
tasking desktop that are definite limits to multi-tasking.
