I suppose ... although I don't see much point
to it given the PDA paradigm. There are no endings,
there are only new beginnings. <g>

But why "quit" at all? All it really does (considering the
user's ability to start another app at any time) is waste
valuable screen space on a button you don't need.

Actually, I think the normal occurrance of actually terminating
your app is to return to the launcher, not what you were doing
before ... somebody may correct me on this.

That's what SwitchHack is for.
Take a look, it does for every app what you want to implement
on an app-by-app basis.
