I do think Apple was smart to restrict multitasking to a few strategic applications, the way ysss explained. It makes things simpler, and prevents the users to see the system ever get sluggish from too many open programs. Myself, I prefer an unrestriccted system with a warning window like Maemo.

To get back in topic, maybe the greater liberty in Maemo should attract some developers and users looking for that. Of course, it would be just a minoroty of users, but here is a point we can explore to attract people, in opposition to remove this difference, make Maemo the same as iPhone and trying to attract them with... I don't know, lower prices?...
