The most common request was for background processing so that third-party apps could run in the background, while other apps are running in the foreground. The idea is that this will make apps more useful, ranging from Internet radio apps that can keep streaming, to messaging apps that can keep receiving messages while you’re doing other stuff.

A common request, yes, but mostly from geeks and pundits, not average users. My favorites: a unified Mail inbox, and push notifications on the lock screen.
