Hi Scynn,
Sure, I see your point. I wouldn’t want all apps to disable control by the user and run in the background. But some apps like Reminders do need to run always, without having the user to check if he/she has closed it inadvertantly.

“Handy Clock doesn’t need to be opened at all.”
– Actually, it does, you just can’t see it. When installed it launches a background service process that auto-starts and can not be controlled from w/in the app. IIRC, it uses over 500 k of RAM even with 0 alarms setup. Handy Blacklist uses a very similar background process that stays running even when you have the app disabled. These background process are what moved me away from the Handy apps to alternatives. Apps that always has to running with an icon are much better than apps that install background services without asking or telling you. Don’t get me started on Nokia Messaging either…
