#2 Task Killer will interfere with email accts when the go to automaticly refresh, i wasn't recieving any of my Yahoo or Hotmail until i uninstalled Task Killer and rebooted the Droid(i found this out through another Droid site)


Hope this helps
Both of your points are correct.

However, when you're buying an Android device, you expect complete control & customizability. Whether having the Corporate Calendar process running hurts my phone's performance or not, I certainly want to be able to control whether it runs. Hence the task-killing programs.
