You can do this if you Jailbreak. I drive around [1] with Google Maps open,
listening to Slacker radio [2], and have various IM's come in via IM+ [3].
1. ProClip dashboard mounts are extremely stable vehicle-specific
platforms. Scrolling Google Maps, Trapster, or manipulating a music app is a
breeze.

2. Jailbreak-only apps: Backgrounder (free), SBSettings (free),
MusicControls ($4.99)
- MusicControls is worth the $. Double-tap your home button and you
get a pop-up control window for *whatever* music app you are
using (similar
to pop-alert windows). Its incredibly convenient.
3. No, I never type while driving.
