Force-Quit Applications on the iPhone

In this video, I talk about a common problem with iPhone 2.0:  memory management.  A lot of users complain about OS sluggishness as well as program crashes.  A trick that I’ve used to alleviate some of these issues is to “force-quit” some of the “heavier” applications on the iPhone:  Mail, iTunes, and Safari.  To perform this trick, open the desired application, then hold down the home button until the program quits.  This removes the program from memory and could possibly speed other things up.  If you find that this trick doesn’t speed things up, you can always just restart your iPhone to clear all apps from memory.  Enjoy!
