Yeah, that's a nagging concern of mine as well, and I asked for a solution to it in this thread. But there were still unresolved issues with the design of exactly how it would work. We got pretty far through some of the higher-level thinking, but when it came to "how do we actually code this so that it would work" things got stuck.

Without some way for the user to explicitly (and without a lot of effort) switch between which app is in the foreground, or the ability to have 2 or more apps write to different sections of the screen at the same time, I don't see how running multiple apps at one time can be practical.
