Why you shouldn't be using a task killer on Android.

... also the app isn't doing anything, so it isn't using any battery (or not a measurable amount).

Plus, if you want to show off a game or whatever and then not have it running in the background (even though it really isn't doing anytihng, but you just want to "feel" better because windows has ruined us) then just hit the Back button instead of Home when you want to exit it.

haha yes. damn you winmo! the only reason i used it then was to have a functioning phone, haha. sounds like android does an excellent job of managing apps. does it really not ruin performance? sorry but i have no android experience. i am patiently waiting for the vzw n1, and the more i read about android and hear about the more it seems like i made the right choice by leaving winmo

Android can very laggy. There are task managers you dont have to keep running so they dont sit there in the background as a task killer itself and place it as a widget on home screen to get to when you need it. Played with hero a a owner of it for a week and it can get very laggy and the moment which I own with no tak killer can get very laggy as well. There are aspects of android and winmo that are similar. task mangement is a minor resedmblence and the drawer for apps really is an updated start menu. latter part is my opinion though.
