Tony, when you press the home button certain apps save their exit state so that, when opened next time, they look exactly as though they had been running in the background. It saves memory, processing power and most importantly battery power - something the iPhone is not the best at, currently. Regards. Yes Otto is correct.

Interesting, but when I open certain apps the second or third time, they open in the same state as when I closed the app. I don't think the application is 100% quit when simply pressing the home button to return to the home screen.

Apps do not run in the background unless they're special Apple ones. If you've jailbroken your phone and installed development or other backgrounding type of tools, then you'd be able to see exactly what is going on, but the gist of it is that while it's *possible* to run an app in the background, Apple specifically forbids it for all App Store applications. There are no applications in the App Store (that I've found) which run in the background. There's several ways to run jailbroken apps in the background, and some can do this. But official ones do *not*. I’m sorry, but this is inaccurate. Apps do not run in the background unless they’re special Apple ones.

Some iPhone users power cycle their phone once a week. Herb, I'm not seeing Memory Info when I do a search query for the app in the app store...
