It is *no problem at all* to say to the person at the other end, hold on a sec, I want to check my calendar, open P/A which does not drop the call, still there, put phone to ear and transact while calendar is still open, make entries or notes while person is still on line, etc.  The current devices and AOS handle multitasking just fine.


i believe the point is not the device being able to multi-tasking (e.g. 
looking up information while on the phone)

it's more of a usage problem of the user.

i also find it less convenient to switch screen to look up contact, 
to-do whatever while on the phone (despite Android phone handles it just 
fine).
