How can I do the Win alt+tab program switch on a PPC using hardware buttons?

I drive and use the GPS and Win media player. To switch between them using Magic Button is really hard via finger while driving.

Is there any software that will let me assign a hardware button to cycle between the open programs like in Windows for the PC pressing alt+tab?

I believe that the latest version of spb Pocket Plus provides that functionality.

Yes, PHM Keys is a fantastic solution, and a 'must' for me to have mapped to a hardware button. After moving from Palm, in part for multi-tasking, simple app switching makes my Axim so much more useful!

I don't think it's an actual setting. (Of course just for clarity we're referring to Wisbar Advance 2 from Lakeridge Software, not the other Wisbars out there.)

As far as I saw (with the latest beta), it seemd to automatically add a new "button" to assign called task switch. I selected it and it works great! And, I like that it just switches through the apps, rather than displaying a screen to show all that are opened.
