How's it working for you? I'm only speaking from what I imagine the experience to be like.

It is up to the app to support it, but ideally they should resume just where you were. (I think part of the OS 4 changes is to offload more of this work to the OS rather than the app).
I was playing a text adventure in Frotz, and creating a map in another app.
Hit the home button, fire up the map app, it opens just where I was, draw another room on, hit home, open frotz, it opens back where I was, etc...
It works ok, but is a bit clunky, you get splash screen each time and so on.
It would be slicker if holding down home gave you a task bar from which you could just select apps.
