Symbian has had essentially the same kind of task switcher for many years (hold the Home button to display a popup of open apps). AFAIK, nobody uses that either. It's not discoverable.

Using the home button daily on my E71 to switch between email, web, notes, twitter.

Sorry. I actually use the Symbian task switcher too. I should have said: "I suspect most users are completely oblivious to this method of switching between tasks". (The task switcher is also accessible from the main menu by pressing Option and choosing it from the popup menu, so that's probably how most people find it.)
