MHO is, It would be better to close apps just like we close a web-page in Safari, with a little white/black cross on the upper right corner...

What needs to happen is either developers who want to make a utility to enable apps to run in the background make thier own background app and then their own interface to view the backgroung apps. Or the dev that made background to come up with an interface for the apps it runs in the background and change the way it enables apps to run in the background. If you open an app and close it, it should automaticly keep running it in the background and you should either hold the home button to stop the process or bite the Pre's style of stopping the apps from running (it's not like they're using it, seeing since the Pre sucks)

he is only using backgrounder to put to apps in background but the point of this app is to switch between backgrounded apps through that cover flow.

It's just a mock-up of pre's card interface which again is a mockup of mobile safari's card interface... Moreover, you can't quit apps from within Multifl0w and need to open the app everytime and disable backgrounder. mQuickDo is better that way I believe. Hopefully, this feature gets added overtime. Moreover, I hate the double tap thing cos I wanna use it for iPod controls and not this. Maybe triple click or pinch in gesture?

agreed with Sayam. Devs, please stop using double-click home as a gesture because a lot of us actually want fast access to phone favorites (or iPod controls). Also, please don't use the hold home button extended, because I use Voice Control.
