When you build a tab application, should each tab be a view or a window?
Many developers say your app should only have one window with many views. Other developers say use windows for each tab.

The general rule with iOS apps is that you want one UIWindow instance per physical screen. Until iOS added better multiscreen support, and the newer hardware was able to natively support app mirroring, most apps used one window, unless it explicitly supported a second display.
It follows then, that you want one UITabBarController to show instances of UIViewController objects. This rule should hold true regardless of the SDK you’re using to write your apps, assuming that titanium maps its classes back to their native Objective-C counterparts.
