You wish. What I hope is that they do something about the battery life before release. Currently, it sucks. I am actively terminating *all* apps as I finish with them. I didnt, last night. Had forgotten and left open Stanza (which does nothing to the battery at all), Safari, and mail. Lying on my beside table for 6 hours, mail and safari managed to deplete the battery by 15%. Others are experiencing the same sorts of issues. This multitasking thing is a crock. Its not needed at all.
