It took me ages to figure this out. Seems everyone and their dog
knew about it. For years, I’ve been deftly flicking through the Nokia
menu structure trying to get back to applications running in the
background.Once, my pure mistake, I kept my thumb on the menu key for a second
longer than necessary and this little ‘alt tab’ window popped up.A nigh-on revelation for me when I’m flicking around things on the E61 and the N93.
I really should RTFM.

Let’s not ignore this little epiphany that Ewan just had. It says a lot about how intuitive S60 is. Now I knew from day one how to do this because unlike Ewan I did read my manual; not in it’s entirety but it was something to do thanks to my new high fiber diet.
How many people actually read manuals tho? Why is this something that can’t be learned by actually playing with the phone? How can we improve the situation?
Here is an idea: When you hit the menu key you get a tabbed interface. One tab has "running applications" the other tab takes you to the regular menu. No more having to hit and hold.
