No kidding...I don’t understand people who bitch about multitasking on the iPhone. Whichever app you were in when you switched away from it, what exactly did you expect it to continue doing in the background for you? Apple has 7 or 8 specific tasks that an app is allowed to do in the background, plus an API for rapid state saves/resumes.
For 90% of apps, a rapid state save/resume is all that is needed. This covers off most productivity apps, office apps, games, etc.
For other apps, including audio, GPS and some network apps, the API is there to facilitate them finishing their work in the background. Push notifications are there for apps that need to respond to events in something less than real time or with higher tolerated latency.
If an app hasn’t implemented the proper API’s to facilitate performing its intended function in a normal usage pattern, blame the developer.
