BTW, the reason you don't get all your memory back on the Imagio with WinMo is called memory management. You close the app but it keeps the app's temp files around in case you open the app again (faster). If another app comes along and needs that memory, it gets it. Pretty cool, actually.

However, on the Droid, from what I've read here, apparently randomly opens up real programs which use real memory.
I just ditched my Imagio for the Droid, and I dont regret it one bit. Even with a ton of apps running in the back It still runs a lot faster and smoother than the Imagio. I just got a task killer app for the droid and everything has been fine and dandy, no soft resets or hard resets after 3 days and still runs smooth as ever. When i close the programs I actually get all my memory back unlike the POS imagio. The droid is just a much better phone and a lot more useable out of the box. I didn't feel like waiting for the imagio locker.

The unintended apps popping up from now and then isnt a big deal. On the imagio I would have nothing running and memory usage creeped up to 70% anyways, thats with all the current tweaks... My only gripe with the droid is the camera doesnt focus, but it should be fixed in their next update on dec 12th.
