Close out apps

Out of curiosity: What's the logic behind this?

I could see keeping a program open for the purpose of multi-tasking, but without some sort of task manager to toggle between running programs, I fail to see why programs don't close once you close out of them/go back home.

Actually, Android does have a task manager. On the Hero just hold the 'Home' key to get it to pop up.

That's not a task manager. It's a recent programs menu. It doesn't list what is open, or currently running.

He speaks the truth.
