I don't have anything against android not having real multitasking and only allowing select apps to actually run.

I have EVERYTHING against the HOME button and that useless list of recent apps!
So far all I have found is this: http://www.appbrain.com/app/it.mp.multitask
-useless use of screen estate (one bar for both closed/paused and running apps)
-uncomfortable long press of "search" to start
-uncomfortable long press to close apps
-should allow use of HOME button but this didn't work for me


And the purpose of this thread:
Finding the best task manager for android
-something that can be started from the HOME button
-instant change of apps and close (x)

I'm not requesting anything spectacular like the "windows" we have on maemo.
Just a simple task manager that replaces the "recent" view, separates paused from running and places a small (x) for closing.

Do I really ask that much?
I suspect you'll get far better results asking this from Android forums, too. I'm not sure how to answer your questions but I'll be darned if someone on those forums wouldn't have answers.
