Astro is a file manager. Thats different from a task manager. It has one built in, but there is no need to use it. Also, installing apps (unless you are using apss2sd) does not affect the sd card at all. You can delete apps through the marketplace in "My Downloads" or in Astro under the program manager. A task kill is a program that you can view all the apps and processes that are currently running and choose to kill them. Most people do this in an effort to save cpu, but the way android handles cpu alotment makes it unecessary. Most Task killer applications are constantly running in a way that causes the phone to not go to sleep. This murders your battery.
so, to recap
- Astro is not only a great application, but for people like me and most other ppcgeekers, 100% necessary.
- if you have astro, you don't need linda
- Task killer apps are used to kill running processes and are completely unecessary due to the way android handles memory allocation (efficiently)
I'm pretty sure the memory readout you are reading is memory USED and not memory AVAILABLE. To be sure, plug the phone into a computer and, in the notification panel, click on mount sd card. Your sdcard will then show up as a removable disk. Right click on it in "My Computer" and hit properties. All should be clear after that.
