It is my understanding that the iPhone doesn't have true multi-tasking and when you switch apps you close the one you were switching from. Isn’t that the case with all apps?

If I have to go back to the home screen to check SMS, make phone call, check a website, etc., I get automatically logged out of iTWS. This makes for very unstable trading, since it takes forever to log in onto the platform. Anyone found a way around this?

I would gladly buy an iPhone if an EVDO model came out just so I could use this application. I've used TOS's ThinkMobile platform on my WinMobile smartphone before and it was better than web-based trading. It was more than good enough actually.

Is it a timely and reliable alternative when you're not at your regular PC. Maybe, if u need to just jump in and out of a trade... As a part-timer, I've ended up executing some trades on my PocketSurfer while at work. Its a kind of 'mobile internet browser' that I can carry in my shirt pocket. It allows me to view real webpages rather than pages customised for viewing on a mobile, however its a stressful experience - always probs with connection and scrolling around viewing a real web page on a screen a few inches wide. Interested to hear how u get on with this new IB platform, Reaper. I guess the question is: can one trade effectively using a mobile device.
