You mentioned earlier that you were surfing the net and using GPS apps... Are you actually closing them in task manager when you're done using those apps? (as oppsed to just hitting the 'X')?

Yep! That is what makes it so strange. I learned that day one about the minimize feature. SPB has a nice little running tasks area that you can kill all running tasks. If Google Maps is still running in the background somewhere I sure cinnot find where...
