Is there a way to do this without jailbreaking the iphone? I'd like to run several programs in the background.

Well according to Apple it doesn't matter what you want. Apple is all knowing and knows what's best for iphone users.
 
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!!

really, even with a lowly 3G? Well, it's christmas and I'm bored so hey, I might just see how the jailbreak scene's going
 
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
