Honeycomb 3.0 Multi Tasking Question

[rfresh]

I have an Asus Eee Transformer running Honeycomb 3.0. When I press the double windows icon in the lower left corner of the screen, the apps that are running in the background display. How can I kill one of these apps if I no longer want it to be running?

Also is there a limit on the number of background apps that can be running? The multi-tasking list always seems to max out at 4 apps?

Thanks...

i think the multi-tasking list is limited by real estate more than actual apps running...on mine i see 5 apps in landscape and 7 apps in portrait mode...and i haven't figured out how to kill apps either.

those aren't running apps necessarily, they are just your most recently used apps. You can either get a task manager from the market, or go into your settings=>applications=>running to see what's running and to stop processes.

advanced task killer is pretty good.

Yes but from what I understand you don't need to kill tasks usually, it will probably use more power and resources if you do.

It took me awhile to dig this one up, but it is a great post to clear up the fundamentals of how multitasking works on Android. This is the best article I have seen on it.
