No it's not dumbass otherwise they wouldn't have made the article.

First, we already know that apps running in the background as a process is possible on the iPhone. The iPod app, SMS app, and various other apps all run in the background now and continue running no matter where you go in the phone. Also, user-made Installer.app apps like Apollo (an IM client) already run in the background just fine.

Certain programs such as though or mail do, but other apps like safari stop working when you exit out of them. Most of the programs end when you exit out of them.

It's a definite limitation, could be an annoyance... but I can see the logic. If it proves debilitating I'm sure Apple will loosen the restriction. I mean, a few months ago an SDK was never going to happen... now here we are.

I haven't tried any software yet, I don't even know where to start, what's good, what's not etc.
I got a moto q9h from my provider, Fido up here.
Any tips or software advice you have would be great, I have another 5 or 6 days to decide if I'll keep it or not. The main attraction is that I can tether it to my MBP and get 3g speeds, unlike my Euro Nokia...
