O’Reilly has just released another new chapter of the webOS book – chapter 10 is called background applications:
chapter Another new chapter of webOS book available

The author describes it as follows:

Until now, mobile and web applications have generally been limited to a single window, within which the user moves from view to view, reading content, performing tasks, providing input in a serial fashion. With Palm webOS, mobile applications can anticipate the user’s needs by using notifications while running in the background, and they can put common tasks into separate windows for quick access when needed. You’ve seen a lot about the user experience that enables these features; in this chapter you’ll learn how to build your applications to take advantage of them.
