My comment was on Lord's statement "you need to set them to either only run when the wifi is on, or set the wifi to auto timeout after 5-10 minutes."

The way I understand it is that applications can be run in two ways on the tablet;
a) As an applet that runs on your homescreen (example: RSS reader), and
b) As an application that can be 'minimized' to the left side of the screen as an icon, showing that it's still active (example: Mauku).

I understand that closing an application doesn't remove it from the tablet - my question was if there was a way to make applets/applications dependent on a wifi connection for them to start running.
