Petroleam is right about AsyncTask using a thread-pool of only one thread on 1.5. Higher versions of Android use a pool of more than one thread.
You can do something similar with ExecutorService and FutureTask classes (java.util.concurrent; i believe that AsyncTask is based upon these classes) and tell the ExecutorService to use Thread-pools of any size.
