Multitasking
You can have multiple applications open at the same time. To open a new
application, press the Home button to return to the Home screen, then start the
new application.
To view your active applications, press and hold the Home button. Then tap an
icon to go to the application.

using it. Do this by either pressing the Back key or the Menu button and selecting Exit
(if available).
