Best Taskman by Smartphoneware

When I first got my N73 I installed Best Taskman, but hated the fact that it would close down most times when I was low on memory, so switched to Handy Taskman and been happily using Handy Taskman with its single screen showing you both Free Memory (RAM, Internal, External) and Open Applications.

Noticed last week while looking at the Freeware applications now available for Smartphoneware that their Best Taskman has been updated and had some nice new functions like the Application Launcher & Switcher, using two of the keypad keys, so installed it on my N73 and WOMWorld's N95 to test it out.

So was happily using Best Taskman and opening and switching between applications using the 'PEN' and 'OK' or 'MENU' keys thinking this is a great update from Smartphoneware, that is until I realised it keeps closing down on its own, just like the previous versions I've tried. Seems to close down when I've got a few apps open at the same time and memory is low.

Checked with the WOMWorld N95 and its the same thing, the Best Taskman application keeps crashing when he's got too many applications open and low on memory.

So its back to using Handy Taskman, which is still a great application  (which don't close itself down), but I did like the switcher and task launching functions from Handy Taskman, so maybe I'll send them a bug report and see if they'll improve it even further. Is improve the right word? Maybe it should be "Stabilise"?
