Ever since using the HTC Tattoo and Motorola Milestone to test our FriendCaller Android version it becomes more clear to me: iPhone and iPad lack of multitasking for third party apps like our VoIP apps is a killer. I love my iPhone and over time you just get used to these shortcomings, only when using a different device that can run app as a service in the background it become apparent again what we missing out. The Android phones manage incoming calls while running pass very elegant, no rude interruptions.

Is the nature of my job talking to people for hours a day through FriendCaller and I really like the top quality audio components Apple Inc. is using, FriendCaller apps have a real natural and warm voice quality, a big step from the early VoIP service with these harsh digital sounds. But using the iPhone, you never know when an incoming call will kill my free FriendCaller VoIP call. The only solution is to use a iPod touch. It has the same audio engine and yes, no incoming cell calls!

But now with free 3G calls through the iPhone it becomes even more urgent, now I can talk to my friends for free wherever I go, no search for WiFi hotspots anymore but the same time, as long as FriendCaller VoIP app can not run in the background you have a build in service interruption risk.

We learned to love our iPhone despite lack of background apps, a lot of love will be lost if the iPad will be launched without it! QZKZWM5C4VDK
