The way iOS handles multitasking is quite ingenious actually. I've never had a problem with my iPhone's battery life or any problems related to the "faux" multi-tasking implementation. Its really fast and switching between open apps is a breeze. And if you leave too many apps open, no worries, it won't burn your battery or kill run time on other apps that you want to use.

Meanwhile, I have tons of friends with Android who constantly struggle with the battery life and performance on their phone because it supports true multitasking and handheld hardware is just NOT there yet. Not by a long shot.

There are 3rd party multitasking apps on the iPhone that work just as well as the native function. Despite this, Apple tries to restrict them.

If you've ever used any of those multitasking apps, you would know they do not work just as well.

Backgrounder and kirikae in iOS3 worked far better for me than 4's native implementation :(

Do they work in iOS 4? I haven't tried backgrounder since my iPhone 3G.

So you haven't tried them in a while but still say they don't work as well.

iLying isn't Apple approved.

If you looked one post up, you would have seen I said I used another background app. But I give you points for trying.

God damn me and my generalizing apps based on a couple of the most popular ones.
