Hi George -

I think that what you're describing would be more fiddly than just
opening the relevant application!  It would maybe have been valid on
the 770, with its (IIRC) slower memory operations and less RAM, but
IMHO the n800 is fast enough to start applications that the extra UI
complexity wouldn't be justified by the ability to view more applets
that /little/ bit quicker  :-)

Cheers!
Jonathan
