+<p>The Symbian UI style allows multitasking; that is, working with more than
+one application simultaneously. Mobile device users can leave an application
+running when they start another application, swap between running applications,
+and interact with them.</p>
+<p>To open a new application without closing the one that is presently being
+used, users can press the Home / Menu key to go to the <xref href="GUID-86AADA3E-B77C-45CC-B523-785B75BAA5AA.dita">Menu</xref> and
+select application suites and applications.</p>
+<p>The first application process remains running in the background while the
+user interacts with the second application.</p>
+<p>The number of simultaneously running (different) applications is limited
+only by the available memory in the device. When a new application process
+cannot be created because of limited memory, the system can automatically
+shut down applications to increase the amount of free memory.</p>
+<p>To swap active applications, users can:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Long-press the Home / Menu key to open the task swapping window.</p></li>
+<li><p>Alternatively, select <uicontrol>Options</uicontrol> &gt; <uicontrol>Show
+open applications</uicontrol> to open the task swapping window.</p></li>
+</ul>

+</fig>
+<p>The task swapping window displays the applications that are currently running
+in the order of their most recent use. By default, the focus is on the first
+item in the grid. The task swapping window is a pop-up with a heading (<uicontrol>Open
+applications</uicontrol>). The names of the open applications are displayed
+in an Information pop-up. The Information pop-up is launched with a 0.5 second
+delay after the focus is moved onto each item, and it remains visible for
+1.5 seconds (or until the focus is moved to another item). Menu and home screen
+are always visible in the task swapping window. The configuration and visual
+appearance of the task swapping window might depend on the product.</p>
+<p>Users can use the task swapping window to close active applications. In
+devices with a keypad, users move the focus onto the application to be closed,
+and press the <uicontrol>Clear</uicontrol> (delete) key.  In touch devices,
+users tap and hold the item to open a pop-up menu where they can select the <uicontrol>Exit</uicontrol> option.</p>
