I'm always looking for ways to access my currently open applications faster. I hate having to hold down the menu key for a few seconds to see what applications are currently open.

Well I just realized that if you have an application open in the background that also just so happens to be one of your active standby shortcuts, you can just scroll over to that application and click the icon just like if you were to launch it normally from the standby screen. This quickly switches to whatever you were doing in the application when you last minimized it. Like I said this is only a minor thing since it's only handy for your active standby shortcuts, but it can save some time if you already have one or some of those applications open in the background.

Example is right now I have Slick Instant Messenger, Google Maps, & an email I'm working on open in the background. From my standby screen, I can just scroll to any one of those icons and it comes to the front instantly. Just a little faster than holding down the menu button to get your list of open applications.

Many of you know that Best Taskman has a quick switcher key that works like "alt-tab" on a pc, but some people don't prefer to use that application, and it also is having problems working on the Nokia N95.

So if your one of those power users like me who love to mult-task, this may help a bit.

What's next?
