Although . . .
If I start a video on Crackle and then load a site on Safari, I can double-click the home button and press the Crackle icon. The Crackle site is replaced by the Safari site and no start up screens and my show does not reload so I can continue watching.
Not sure why.
If I load a game from Big Fish then use Safari to find help, when I switch back to the game, it takes time to load while it goes through the splash screen and a screen with a "play" button. It takes me back to my game in progress, however.
Very uneven and sporadic behavior.
