I think you will find that on the Android Smartphone when you have finished using any application is continues to run in the background, i have also downloaded the advanced task killer free from the market place and you the just add the widget to your home screen, when finished with an application just press the task killer, extends battery life an awfull lot.

If you want to see just how many applications your phone is running even when you have closed them, just open the task killer in your menu and you will find every application still running.

I have had andriod smartphones since they very first came out and the first thing i do with a new phone is download this app!
