Most of you have a point: Verizon might not be any better.
But then again, Verizon had all this time to learn from AT&T's mistakes. Remember: Apple wasn't the first to enable mobile multi-tasking, they sat back while others tried and learned from the pitfalls and challenges and were able to execute it more efficiently (allegedly). If Verizon knows what's good for them they'll have taken this similar approach. If they haven't, their strategists are even poorer than AT&T's because, going back to my original point, they had all the time in the world to implement a more efficient system.
