The Frequent tab on BlackBerry 6 is more like “Last Used Apps”

While looking at BlackBerry 6 before even trying it, the Frequent tab fascinated me.  I saw it as it being all my most used applications featured there meaning I won’t have to keep rearranging icons and stuff.  It’s been good lately, but I realized as I used some other apps that they would appear too fast in the Frequent tab.  For example, I was giving the Sonic 2 game a try late last night and then tried it once more this morning finding it pretty high up on my Frequent tab.  At that point it came to my knowledge that the Frequent tab was more like “Last Used Apps” since all it really takes is opening something up 1 to 2 times for it to show up there.

    I have no way of knowing completely so this is just a guess… but with the BB utilizing true multitasking, the Frequent area might be getting miscalculated. For example, let's say you always leave the calendar running in the background but you go into it 5 times throughout a day. To the naked eye, it looks as though you've opened it five times. But to the system itself, it may only be counting it as once due to it having been constantly running with you just switching it from background to foreground. But something like a game, you would probably be fully closing when not in use so every time you go into it, it would count as a new opening.

    Just a guess. But it makes sense to me.
