Kind of wish there was a way to close the apps from running in the backround instead of having to restart.
To stop running apps in iOS4, double-click the home button to bring up the app switcher, press and hold the app you wish to quit (similar to when arranging icons), tap the negative button when it appears. Note: the app switcher shows recently-used programs, not just running apps (as I understand). The further to the left the more recent, and the more likely they are still running in the background. Hope this helps.
Sometimes you will need to restart, especially after installing an update to the system software, but you shouldn't need to more often than that. Hopefully the 4.1 update will fix this problem.
