That would be a very bad move and very un-Apple.

I actually agree, but it would be better than forcing developers to adhere to a static memory quota.

Ultimately there isn't any simple answer for the iPhone multitasking issue. Maybe Apple should create tools that let developers create "background modes" of their apps, which would take up less memory and dynamically cede control to other apps with higher priority, like the Phone.

A static memory quota might be better than what we have now. Sometimes my app gets punted at 2 MB, sometimes it can use 20. Users with jailbroken phones seem to have particular problems with memory, especially when they try to take photos.
