These are one thought broken into two points, so I will address them
as one. This is not a fair assessment, or even an accurate one. While
the iPhone does not technically perform multi-tasking, it proides the
same functionality. You can quickly switch between apps on the iPhone,
and iPhone apps are designed to remember where they were when you left
them. The upshot of this is, therefore, that you get the illusion of
multi-tasking with all its benefits, without the performance hit. This
argument is a flawed one, that is based on a misunderstanding of the
iPhone and its operation.

The buttons on the iPhone's keypad are large and do not move around. I
do not search for them anymore. It's a different experience, and it
takes a small amount of practice. However, it is no harder or easier,
once you have learned to use it properly, than a physical keypad.
