iPhone Build-in Apps Load Faster

If you feel that the iPhone built-in applications such as Mail or Contacts always seem to load “instantly”, as opposed to third-party applications that take longer, you’re probably right. Apparently Apple is using a screenshot of the last known state of the application as a “splash screen” when the application next loads. Such a splash screen would effectively mask the loading time of the application, while giving users the illusion of the application loading instantly, genius, isn’t it?
