is there an easy way to switch to applications that are already running int he background? Example : how to switch between Google Maps while its running and switch to a music application?

Long press (press and hold) the home button. You will get a menu with the six apps that are running.

Hahah, thanks man. You would think I could figure little things like this out.

I have this question about the web browser. I like to open links in new windows (in the background), but it's a three tap process to switch between or close different pages. Menu->Windows->tap desired window.

I wish there was a <ctrl-tab> like way to switch windows. Fennec, where are you?

I don't have my Droid yet but you should check out this thread on this forum under apps.

One of the responses says you can quickly switch browser windows like the home screens. Worth a look?
