Quick launch

Lets you set hardware keyboard shortcuts to launch applications. For example, you can press and hold the Search key on the hardware keyboard, and then press the “B” key to open the Browser.

Manage applications

Opens the Manage applications screen that organizes all your applications by tabs (Downloaded, Running, All, and On SD card). Touch a tab and then touch an application to open its Application Info screen. See “Application Info screen” on page 326. Press Menu and touch Sort by size to display applications in order by size.

Running services

Opens a list of services—applications or parts of applications that provide services to other applications or that run even when their main application isn’t running. Examples include the Swype onscreen keyboard and the small portion of Google Talk that always listens for incoming messages. Above each service, one or more gray bars show what processes the running service needs and how much memory it’s using (how much memory you would recover if you stopped the service). Depending on the service, when you touch it in the list it either opens a dialog in which you can stop it or opens its Settings screen.
