Is there a way to do this without jailbreaking the iphone? I'd like to run several programs in the background.
 
I can understand their stance on keeping the iphone closed like it is... the battery already sucks imagine even more people complaining. However backgrounder is the main reason i jailbreak. Well worth it.

I don't think i could tolerate my iPhone being even slower. Perhaps when I update to the June refresh, if it's even Jailbreakable

I am jailbroken and use backgrounder a ton, my phone is not one bit slower than my friends who arent jailbroken.

Instead of offering customers a decent battery, they'd rather restrict features that should be commonplace for any device being billed as a smartphone. I can't wait for the innovative FM radio feature that 4.0 will surely have. It will put cut & paste to shame!!
 
I have backgrounder on my 3GS (jailbroken of course) and it works great. My phone is not slower, but it will kill the battery quicker. I have a charger everywhere though (home, work, car, etc).

Jailbreaking was easy, but be careful if you have a newer 3GS
