When someone comes to me complaining that their computer (Mac or PC) is running slow, I look to see how many applications they have open - which is the usual cause of the slowness. When the computer has to keep Word's Zippy the paperclip dancing, Excel's furiously recalculating every cell on the sheet whether changed or not, Browser with Flash ads showing people bopping around because they're going to find out their credit scores and the computer trying to keep everything in memory but has to keep swapping memory to disk and back because of insufficient RAM to keep all these processes going, and the poor dude is trying to read his e-mail at the same time, sure things might get a bit pokey. So it does make sense on the iPad not to have multitasking or to have some sort of strict regulation for it. Maybe they can have some sort of user selection for background runs for legitimate situations - such as when some guy wants to perform finite element analysis of the flame front resulting from the collision of a Toyota Corolla as it crashes into the back of a Ford Pinto but he also needs to watch "Hamster Dance" on his browser at the same time.
