Regarding Backgrounder, all I can say is that most of us don't really have a use for it.

I've experimented with it on both the iPad and iPhone. I disabled the iOS 4 multi-tasking and put Backgrounder on and found that it did not really enhance the experience over using iOS 4.

I understand the difference. I know that it is possible to configure something to really be "running" with Backgrounder just as if the application were still in the foreground. But I never found that I ever really need that, and it's not like I am a lightweight user.

In other words, I am really looking forward to iOS 4.1 on the iPad. :-)

Yes, I think it is likely that it will take some thinking to roll out iOS 4.1 on the iPad considering the smaller amount of RAM that is available.

Looking at the memory that is free on my iPhone 4 right now, I see 135 MB. That is not much left out of the 512 MB with which we start.

Using the Remove BG function brings the 135 MB free up to 318 MB, illustrating that the entire memory in between was being taken up with pre-loaded applications, the decision to pre-load being made based on what I had recently used.

You can see that Apple would struggle a little bit with what percentages to use when dealing with the iPad because when you get down below maybe 60 MB free you can cause a hiccup if you suddenly shock the device with a huge, fat streaming HD video or something.

I'm sure they can figure it out, but I'm also sure that the smaller amount of memory in the iPad vs iPhone makes for slightly different priorities. :-)

I'm not quite sure, but I suppose that iOS may be adapting the same logic of using memory as Mac OS X, the percentage that you see in the OS X does not really reflect the level that the services and applications required. The fact is, they do occupied more memory when you got more installed.

I heard from a friend of mine inside Apples developing sector that iOS 4 for iPad is coming out early september.

This sucks, it's Fall, and still no word.

No word about ipad os or current jb :/

I guess the Sep 7 Event most likely will release the iOS 4 for iPad.

I hope that we actually do get it on Sep 7. I'm dying to jb my ipad, but I have 3.2.2. I really want to either jb or have 4.0 for the multitasking. Seems like a very imp feature to me

Do you know if upgraded OS will possibly provide some version of Flash or means to listen to live audio while usin another ap? Do you know of any other means to stream music while working in another ap?

No, it will not offer flash support. Currently you can listen to most streaming audio services by downloading TuneMark (free from the app store). It will allow you to launch a stream in Safari (which will allow you to close and use another app without it closing the stream).
