the multitasking behavior that iSilo uses is ok for PDA's, but on smartphones it's no standard way to reopen the reader to continue reading after answering the call, or any other action, wich required to switch out of iSilo. The only walkaround is to use Task Manager, which is not available in Smartphone 2002 by default, and hard to find on WM 2003. Here is a scrreenshot:

I suggest to implement the usual behavior for smartphone aplications: to activate the existing instance upon start, not to create a new one.

That is a bug and the correct behavior should be that the existing instance should be brought to the foreground as you say. It will be investigated to be fixed for the next update.

ok.

BTW, i'm a developer, and using eMbedded Visual C++. So, I can participate if needed.

It turns out that when you are still in the document list, the existing instance is correctly activated. But when you have a document open, a new instance is incorrectly started.

hmmm. I see. I think it's something about the application title, 'cos it's changed then the document is open...

Yeah, that does have to do with the problem.
