I believe Mango is going to bring background tasks and IE9. For what it's worth I find that the back/start button combo on Windows Phone 7 beats the app switching on iPhone, even though Windows Phone lacks true multitasking. The music scenario is the one exception. I swore I had at least one third party music app that did background playing but I must have been mistaken. I find my Windows Phone (LG Optimus) is more stable than the iPhone too. Overall I think Windows Phone 7 is really solid OS. It gets all the basic functionality right and is often better than iOS. However it does lacks the polish and apps that make iOS great.
