Re: Advanced Task Killer...yay or nay?

I also use it.. I keep the widget on my main home screen and tap it every once in awhile to close open apps.. Although I'm not really sure if this is necessary.. Android does a fairly good job of closing apps that are idle or not being used and managing memory.. I have heard that it is not at all necessary in Froyo due to better memory/task management.. this is just from things I've heard.. I was going to do a bit of research to see if this is the case and if it really even saves battery life. I am assuming since background tasks use little to no cpu that the amount of battery life saved would be minimal, if any...

Anyone have more knowledge/insight on this?
