That was what I was thinking as I read the article too: Is there a way to list Active Apps that are running in the background and terminate from that list?

I love the way Backgrounder's interface works - it's so simple that my mom could understand the concept. Apple may want to consider this interface in the future, but they're going to need to include: - Backgrounder's interface - a process/activity monitor (what's running, kill it, goto it) - most important: MORE RAM The iPhone only has 128MB RAM to work with which is causing Backgrounder to only keep open a couple apps at a time. (I've maxed out at 5.) Once you max out, each time you open a new app, because the iPhone can't allocate memory, it causes one of the backgrounded processes to crash.

That device sucks. It is so poor design that these apps would dry out battery even faster. It is funney that nokia out of the box is running 100 processes in the background and new apps can do this also. And still the battery will hold 2days. holy S… That device sucks.

There are other methods like this, which can allow you to run in the background. It's just a matter of Apple allowing them onto AppStore.
