It is a fair point that if you aren't using a hands-free headset or the speaker then accessing other features on your phone while in a call is problematic. However, if you are on a hands free headset then the author's point kind of falls apart. That said, I wish I could buy a palm phone (small mostly just a phone) because I do all the other stuff (calendaring, looking up dates, Etc.) on my iPad that I use with my phone.
