I bought an ipod touch hoping to make some productive use of it The no background processes thing makes that next to impossible. I can't risk my fancy dancy alarm clock not going of because I went and checked my email and forgot to re-open the alarm clock program. It's a huge problem with the platform in my opinion. Heck, my Dell Axim PDA from 5 years ago would happily run 6 or 8 apps at a time.

Really? The Apple Clock program's Alarms seem to work in the background for me.

  Apple's alarm clock program works regardless of which app you currently have open.

  you're correct. Apple does not expose this functionality to 3rd party apps.

  It does, but I didn't like it as much as some of the other options in the app store.
