Background apps on the iPhone – SDK 4

“There are definitely some very interesting methods added to UIApplication’s delegate, including methods for badging the Springboard icon, and methods related to gaining and resigning “active” status – seems like background apps may be permitted somehow.” #

Interesting, I wonder how they’ll handle it (if they do allow some type of background apps, even with cron or something) because I still think they need to be careful. I’d love background apps, for a Google Reader app or a GTalk client but I don’t want my phone overbudened enough to affect the overall speed and stability of the phone.
