I thought of another desirable use for multitasking. There are streaming media applications, such as the new app for "This American Life," that do not allow you to save the file you are streaming nor your location in the stream. This app is what made me think of the concern but it applies to most streamed media on the iPhone. If you exit the streaming app to do something else you cannot pause and return to the same spot in the stream. You get the joy of starting over again at the beginning.
