Hi Tunney, and welcome!
I can't really answer your question, but I think it is a good one. The home screen/desktop switching won't work -- I'm pretty sure about that -- but I've noticed that some of the newer Android devices have a way to see what other apps are running and to switch between them, so maybe there is an app for that. I have also noticed that at least some of the apps I use (browser included) pick up right where I left off when I return to use them again. In other words, I'm not really closing an app when I hit the home button or the back button to go to another one, which is not the same as minimizing, but it is also not the same as closing a program on a PC.
Good luck, and let us know if you come across a nifty way to toggle apps!
