Using Applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open applications keep running even when you open another application. There’s no need to quit an application before opening another. Use and switch among several open applications. AndroidTM manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t consume resources unnecessarily.
