A note on iPhone apps.
Apple would do well to remove the restriction where any non Apple application must exit (not stay resident) when another function is used (like answering an incoming call). This will make many realy cool applications a pain. IM that exits, GPS that exits, etc and must be manually restarted.

"Applications should not stop working when you go away," he said. "For a game, you shouldn't lose where you are."

On the story, Google is relatively smart. If they see this restriction will not allow it to succeed, they may well relent.
