Your point 2) is unfortunately not universally true. We got a 2-star rating just yesterday, with one of the points the user made being "There isn't any exit button, (that I can find), so everytime you want to quit the app, you must hit home button then task manager to close out app.". Now, you don't need to explain to me how exit buttons on Android make no sense - I understand all that and agree with you completely. My point is, users don't. There's probably quite a bunch of people who got an Android device recently after spending 15 years on Windows, I'm not even surprised they are confused. If we get more reviews like this we'll consider adding an exit button, however bogus it might be, I'm sorry. A lot of third party apps on Market do have those I notice... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
