The way iOS handles multitasking is very similar to how Android does it. Why would it be good enough for your Nexus One, but not for an iPhone?

So you think it's a problem on how specific apps are coded? (please see my comment above).
I've never used Colloquy, so I can't judge its quality. According to its product page, it supports multitasking.

On my iPhone 4 and iPad, I can switch back and forth between my frequently used apps (NetNewsWire, Instapaper, GoodReader, Evernote, Omnifocus, Elements) and they rarely have to relaunch. When I return to an app, everything is how I left it.
