Ah yes of course! Although voice control can't be used on a 3G if i'm correct? Obviously I appreciate they had to write this in the 3.0fw regardless.. due to the 3GS having this function.
It's certainly true that the force exit is rarely used. I reckon it's how a lot of people kill their batteries so quick by leaving iPod and Safari running in the background all day!

really? I didnt' realise that voice control wasn't available on the 3G.
Surely its software only or is the voice recognition in the new hardware?
I used microsoft voice command on WM a few years back and that was a software only solution that worked very well

Yeh it's not available for 3G models. Silly huh. You'd have thought it was really only a software thing, and shouldnt have to depend on hardware.
Really want a 3GS now, if anything just for the extra RAM. Annoying when apps like TweetDeck crash because the memory just falls too low

Yeh a good move by the team, although i'm sure there's a lot of peeps out there desperate to jailbreak (i know if I had one i'd want it done like yesterday
)
The 3GS really is going to showcase it's processing power when the jailbreak is released and running Backgrounder. Will easily be able to have 10 apps on the go!!! Battery permitting of course!!

Regarding the iPod and safari apps are they always running in the backround and should I always force close these In The way u previously mentioned as opposed to just pressing home?

No, or at least, it's really not been necessary for me. Yes those two apps (and mail) can remain open in the background after you press the Home button to close them (unlike any third party app) but it's not the big deal that might seem on other platforms, I don't personally believe it has a big impact on battery life or performance. If you've jailbroken and you've got other stuff running in the background then maybe, I guess it all adds up, but the stock firmware handles fine without any need for forced shutdowns, task managers, or anything like that.

Cobblers! Leaving iPod.app or Safari.app running in the background causes a notable battery loss, jailbroken or not. Fact.
Mail.app and Phone.app are always running in the background. You can force quit them but they reopen again immediately. Those two apps running in the background only have light background processes and won't impact on battery at all (obviously if you have fetch set to 15 mins it'll drain battery more than if you have it set to less frequent intervals - but everyone knows this)

mail.app can be effectively removed from background by changing mail settings to manual, them forcing the mail to close
