in response to another poster, I'd just like to point out that you should UNDER NO CONDITIONS use any form of task killer in android. For those of us that use windows/mac, it seems logical that you would need one, but that isn't the way it works. To put it simply, in android an app will only be running if it NEEDS to be running. Killing a task will do nothing more than make it restart itself. Android itself pretty much has a task killer that kills any app that doesnt need to be running.
