I'm a big Android fan but I can't agree with that until / unless Android develops some kind of windowing system that allows multiple apps on the same screen. On a phone, full screen apps are fine. On a tablet it starts to get annoying. On a desktop it would be a disaster. Windows 8 is pointing the way, I hope Google has something thoughtful and well designed to eventually allow apps to share a screen (officially and without hacks).

The fundamental models of Android does not preclude running multiple activities at once, assuming you can "focus" the back button to a specific pane.
