Great! Android really needs a different task management - from the
user perspective.
Technically it's already great, but users are used to more than 20
years of Windows' terrible management ;), so they complain when they
see something is seemingly "running unnecessarily".
I don't know if it's maybe also planned for Gingerbread, but I think
there should be something like "don't show this app in task managers
until it displayed an Activity". This would allow better task
switchers than the "long home" one, and "close" buttons which would
technically just do this "hide in task list until shown again" - a bit
similar to Windows apps that don't necessarily stop running when the
last window is closed, but aren't visible in the task bar anymore.
Well, just a suggestion, you probably discussed things like that
several times... :)
