I usually have between 1 and 3 apps. I'd use more occasionally, but the N900 is a bit memory-starved and gets painfully slow if I open too many of them, so I got into the habit of closing one of the three running apps before opening a new one.
I guess the apps I use are more memory hungry than average (FBReader, xterm with vim editing a large'ish text file, and especially the web browser).

If I had A, more ram and B, better "active-suspend" support so I don't lose battery life, I'd have a lot more open at a time.
If there is -one- thing I like about the N900's multitasking its the ctrl+backspace to show all windows. That one feature makes multitasking -so- much easier - though it does require the keyboard to be open.
For a new device, I'd like to see at least one multi-function button on the top or side that would let me do that without opening the keyboard, which would make it easier to do when holding it in portrait mode.

- Angry Birds
- Conversations
- Phonebook
- Conky
- cpufreqUI
- Batterygraph
- Contacts
These stay open. Camera, Mediaplayer, documents/sheets to go, e-mail, two or three browsers rotate in and out of being open based on how I'm using the device. Sometimes I'll use Maps. Would use it more if it were a direct port of Maps 3.x with voice navigation.
What would improve this?
- Larger physical RAM
- Higher resolution display
- Faster processor or multi-core processor

Most of these are usually browser windows, but I tend to close them as "rogue" javascript or flash *kills* the battery life.
GPodder remains open almost permanently as listening to podcasts is one of the primary uses my N900 gets
On the desktop, Diary and Foreca Weather Widgets, and on another homescreen the RSS widget.
Online for Skype, GTalk & Ovi chat most of the day (although this means I now travel everywhere with a charger since losing my extra battery),
Some sort of battery "hot-swap" solution would be most welcome (i.e. allow the main battry to be swapped out without having to power-down)
The *MOST* useful thing is the CPU meter that runs in the Battery & reception indicator area.
This shows me when some web page is causing 100% CPU so to be patient. It nearly always is a web page with lots of javascript.
