10 Ways BlackBerry Beats the iPhone

by Tom Conlon on July 22, 2009 at 01:59 PM



Multitasking
One thing's for certain, the iPhone is all about choices. For example, should you browse the Web, or should you send a text message? Should you play a video game, or should you update your Facebook status? Unlike BlackBerry (and the Palm Pre), the iPhone doesn't allow third-party (and many first-party) apps to run in the background, thereby forcing us to do things one at a time. Read an e-mail. Close. Update Twitter feed. Close. Listen to Pandora. Close. Meanwhile, BlackBerry users get to walk and chew gum at the same time -- and that Bubblicious smells mighty good.
