True, but the first thing I did was figure out how to get it to stop telling me I had new tweets. The flow is sufficiently constant for me (and my list isn't that big) that it is essentially pointless to be told. So I just keep the tweet app running and hit refresh whenever I have a moment to care (having 15 windows/apps going at a time is the most valuable feature of the Pre for me -- though I have no idea how multitasking is handled on other phones).

Poorly. If notifications are the best stylistic feature, multitasking is the best functional feature. The iPhone barely multitasks at all (you can play music while using another single app, but that's it). Our Moto Q's with Windows Mobile sort of multitask, but it's cumbersome to switch between apps and the apps inevitably crash while multitasking so it's not so useful.

15 is impressive. <----quote material
