The biggest problem I have with ALL of the “tablet” or “smartphone” devices is this: “How the F do you QUIT!!! an APPLICATION??!?”

With Android devices, go into Applications, find the Task manager, and put it on the home screen. You can always turn off your applications with Task Manager.

Drag your screen from the top down to the bottom turns off a program.

More time most people don't have. (It adds up.)

Yeah, there’s *always* a way — but one shouldn’t have to google to figure it out!

I’m a firmware programmer by trade (but a horribly late adopter of new gadgets — you should see my ten year old cell phone). People who know that I “work with computers” — typically older folks with new pads/phones their kids bought ‘em — often thrust their toy into my hands and say “can you make it work”? Very often my first question is “how do you make this app you’re in go away??!?” They often don’t know. It’s comical sometimes.
