Let me begin with this.. the Droid is my favorite phone ever! Before this my top phone was my blackberry 8700, and i never once thought about the crap iPhone. Even if it was on Verizon. So that said...

I have app killer (free).

why is the corporate calendar starting up? Even after I kill it.. Ive never even opened the app.

I cant delete it either. there are alot of default apps that I dont need or want cluttering it up. I want them gone also.

seems i can only uninstall the apps I download. I want freedom to delete whatever I want.

It would be so nice if... when I hit "home" the app would close and not stay running, I dont see any benefit to the program staying "on".

**on our PCs (regardless of the OS) we have a choice to minimize or close the program. It frees up RAM, power, etc for other tasks.

MY RANT>>perhaps the back key could be used as a minimize, and home as a close.. I dunno, Im not a developer but it seems like common sense. It wont happen.

thanks!
