Jobs was very specific in saying that they managed to add multitasking without sacrificing battery life or performance. I suspect that's where people would point. edit: That is if you believe the real reason was for performance. Personally I think it was half that, and half that they hadn't come up with a good way to present it to the user. edit 2: I think this sums it up exactly: "(...) in multitasking, if you see a task manager, they blew it" - Jobs in Q&A.
