That's because it's not - nor should it be, given the resource constraints of a mobile OS, not to mention limited screen real estate. (No reason to have a bunch of windows open and sucking up resources when you can only see one of them at a time, after all.)
If you need PC-style multitasking, you're going to have to get a tablet running a desktop OS. The multitasking in iPhone OS 4, Android, WebOS, and the upcoming Windows Phone 7 essentially comes down to the same thing - keeping certain important processes running in the background, while freezing/killing anything else that the user isn't directly interacting with at the moment.
