The iPhone has a number of problems, but the inability to background applications is one that just got fixed. There's a new app on Cydia for backgrounding an arbitrary application, called surprisingly enough, Backgrounder. It adds a couple behaviours to your home button for backgrounding, as well as supporting the ability configure apps to always background.
Obviously have to have a jailbroken phone to do it, but with QuickPwn it's a breeze. Now you can listen to Pandora while you surf the web or check your email just like you can with the iPod app. Or stay signed into chat while you go look up a contact. Now if only they'd fix copy and paste, attaching images to emails, text selection, etc.
