Incoming calls pause video playback the same way. In this case, though, hanging
up does not make video playback resume. Instead, the screen displays the list of
videos. Apple says it’s a bug.

Multitasking
Don’t forget, by the way, that the iPhone is a multitasking master. Once you’re
on the phone, you can dive into any other program—to check your calendar,
for example—without interrupting the call.
If you’re in either a 3G area or a Wi-Fi hot spot (Chapter 6), you can even surf
the Web, check your email, or use other Internet functions of the iPhone without
interrupting your call. (If you have only Edge service, you won’t be able to
get online until the call is complete.)
Silencing the Ring
Sometimes, you need a moment before you can answer the call; maybe you
need to exit a meeting or put in the earbuds, for example. In that case, you
can stop the ringing and vibrating by pressing one of the physical buttons on
the edges (the Sleep/Wake button or either volume key). The caller still hears
the phone ringing, and you can still answer it within the first four rings, but at
least the sound won’t be annoying those around you.
(This assumes, of course, that you haven’t just flipped the silencer switch, as
described on page 13.)
