It's concurrent on the iPhone...

Really? It's definitely not on the iPod Touch: other windows do not finish loading in the background, they wait until you swith to them to load. If you're right, I wonder why Apple made it different on the iPhone.

iPhone 3GS to be specific. Just checked it now again, definitely works.

Mmh. My iPod Touch is second gen. I guess older iPhones don't load pages in the background and third gen iPod Touches probably do. It seems likely that Apple enables background loading only on devices with more memory (or maybe, on faster nes).
