Some offer the ability to automatically shut down apps for you, but in general they all do the same. Personally I find Advanced task killer most useful and easy to work with

can you get the ignore list to work?

^^ i thought im the only one having problems. Ive opened up a few apps and see if it shows up on ignore list but cant. Ive tried manually adding it to the list but it doesnt give me any options.

I guess im not the only one.

Finally figured out how to add apps to the ignore list. If you have a list of apps running, pick one and hold until you see a menu of list. Under that list you should see ignore.

Voila! App added to your ignore list.

^^ its an exception list. So instead of task killer always killing that particular app, it can be ignored and let it run in the background.

copilot is a great gps program that you guys should try if u can get a hold of it.

This program is talked about a lot over here. Is it better than Google Maps?

So far it's pretty good, the huge difference between copilot and google maps is that copilot does not require any data plan, so if you are stuck in a place with no 3G network or you are low on bandwidth, copilot can come in pretty handy.
but google maps has a way better search method, just type in whatever you want and it'll find for you, on the other hand, copilot is pretty systematic at searching, you gotta find the city first, then find the street, and number, etc like the garmin GPS, but still good nontheless.

Reminds me of OVI Maps on Nokia phones...
