Apple could improve things no end if they implemented virtual memory in iOS. Because apps are suspended in the background rather than continuing to run (in the main), the effect of virtual memory would be just a slow-down in the switch back to the app compared to real memory.
The advantage of implementing virtual memory would be that they'd be able to support more apps before they were shut down.
I guess an issue might be that (IIRC) flash memory isn't designed for heavy access like that
