I hope you don't mind me moving it to the front page, but it made more sense to me than just repeating it parrot fashion!

Maybe I got accustomed to Task Manager by Psi NT, but Appman does not seem to me to afford any advantage on that. Maybe I am wrong...
I.e. you see a list of open files, but you cannot get rid of any of them to increase free ram. What can I do with that, then?
Also, you get a list of open system tasks, and the option to kill them, but since they are needed to have the operating system work, and if you kill them the system hangs, the option seems to me quite useless.
In my opinion, the best ram freeing app is AVAIL from ...er I don't remember forum nokia or symbian developers site. And it's free 8) . Make it run in the background, compressing all heaps every ten seconds or the so, without reporting free mem on the screen (it's a nuisance) and you get a good control on ram. While AVAIL is running, you can kill all the open apps by repeating Shift-Control-Chr-K, until only Avail remains. At that point, you get quite a maximum of free memory.
I would really appreciate an app that frees those few hundreds of kilobytes that the system isn't able to release after some time of use of the commi, neither by the above described system by AVAIL nor by Task Manager, and make the difference when you eventually decide to open Opera or Doom or another memory hungry gizmo.

Sorry to say yes ....But Yes.
IT HAS EVERYTHING ....!!
I too had difficulties in getting used to the new way of taskmanageing..
BUT
This is really a new top hitter ...Taskman was cool, but from fiddeling with the Appman trial for a day or so ...I simply just love it�s functionality ...
The windoze styled CTRL+SPACE app switcher sure beats the messed up desk button Taskman provides.Not that we don�t love it...This is just so much better
Total control of threads and processes ....neat
View open files and their path names .............neater
last but not least ....TOTAL CONTROL.......neatest
a triple X delux MK2 PRO 2000 application from symbianware ...again
/me gives it a 5 star and a fat thumbs up
