Help Help with why apps are always running

[Jhenson49698]

Hope this hasn't been asked already, but here goes. When I had my G1 occasionally i would find a few apps running in the background needlessly, and would close them down. With the Nexus One every time i check, there is at least 15-20 apps running that dont need to be. Is there a way to minimize this to conserve battery?

The OS will shut them down as and when it feels necessary, if you want to be proactive about it you can get a task killer.
