app store: "Smart Bar"
lets you control em all individually. Freebie
I had too much running in the background, also. Easier this way to just run or kill the ones you want.
So much easier with open source apps, as opposed to the anal retentive control freak boys from Cupertino.
I'm also lovin the Ari Gold Soundbar....

The best people are smart afterwards so it's quite safe to say that Steve said that because all the App development tools weren't yet ready for prime time. People started making 3rd party Apps as soon as the phone was jailbreaked the first time.. lack of official tools didn't stop the smart ones.
iPhone 2 was barely sold outside the US and considering the struggle iPhone 2 caused in AT&T's GSM/EDGE network, the AT&T 3G network just wasn't ready either. If 3G had been an option in the US at the time, a trip to Europe would have convinced Steve that 3G was the only way to go for such a mobile data dependent phone.
So no doubt the strategy was there right from the beginning, they just had to make silly excuses to buy time to implement it ;-)

If you have a Samsung Fascinate (which is the best phone I have owned) hold the Home button down and you will see a choice for Task Manager - this may be available on other Android devices as well but I don't know.
You can easily see what is running and end any or all applications. From here you can also see and uninstall all the apps you have as well as get a summary of the devices memory.

The recommendation on both Android and iOS is that people shouldn't need to kill Apps manually. The operating system limits the resources they can consume (a'la iOS) or even shuts them down when necessary (a'la Android).
.. but considering the quality of many Apps, killing Apps manually may be useful sometimes. Or at least one should keep the devices free of unnecessary apps.

The T-mob kid actually removed my anti-virus software...which I was using also for contact/data backup.
Said it would screw up google backup, and that I should just be careful loading apps....since, y'know, nobody is really monitoring the Android marketplace.
Nice to be treated like an adult for a change.
