A homebrew app for the Palm Pre reboots your phone according to a schedule.

This is such a perfectly encapsulated nutshell of exactly why Apple does not allow third-party background processes on the iPhone.

On the other hand, a Pre can play music from Pandora in the background while you do something else.

This gets right to the very heart of the old world / new world schism.
