What bothers me the most, however, is the sloppy implementation of iPhone multitasking. Every time you open an app, it gets added to the tray, and the only way to close it is by pressing and holding any app icon, then clicking the top-left corner of the apps you want to close. If you don’t micromanage, the tray quickly becomes overrun with clutter, making it hard to find the apps you really need.

I take issue with this statement. All your apps are still on the home screen where they’ve always been. You never have to use the “tray” to get from one app to another, it’s just there to kill apps that do actually run in the background (your VOIPs and GPSs and the like). It is actually faster to just do it the old way: one home button click and one app tap as opposed to two home button clicks and one app tap (plus or minus some swipes).
