It's more of a burden for users, whic is why a *good* lanucher is even more useful. Serves users for littering their devices!
As I said in the other message, I think deleting *3rd party apps which you rarely use"
is one of the effective way (*from the user's point of view*) to extend battery life.
(And their e-newsletter intend to be read by the *user*, I think.)
Technically, lots of apps installed is a burden for application launchers.
Can you please explain to me, in words (endian-ness of your choice) of one syllable because I am 2sTooPID to understand how deleting programs from a device is going to extend the battery life. My battery tends to wear out when I turn it on and use *any* program, 3rd party or not. Does your PC slow down when you fit another hard drive? Will my waistline reduce if I throw out my old pairs of trousers and pants?| I have nothing more to say on this topic. Thank you for shutting up.
Handspring Users: For max. battery life, delete everything, jump up and down on it until the battery drops out, then
place it in a cool dark place (inside your heads?) and I guarantee that your battery charge will last a very long time.
Sean.
Of course, I *am* joking...
