I agree with Stuka that the cost of running background apps is that the app you are currently using suffers.
Other than receiving notifications to handle some event that might require my involvement (e.g. email/TXT's arriving) and/or listening to music while I twitter, I am struggling to find examples of apps that I really do want to run in the background.
Does anyone else have suggestions?
