Learning New Droid Language

[rhcmhc#AC]

Please help me with my droid vocabulary (making the switch from BB). I've seen these words a lot in the droid forums (never saw them at crackberry . . . .).

Task Killer
Root (rooting)

Thanks!

The first one probably should be removed from the vocabulary, especially if you're using a device with sufficient resources such as the DX.

The second one is not to be taken lightly. It refers to having full administrative access to your phone's operating system so that you can tinker with it (and possibly break it if you're not very careful.)

Neither of those terms are necessary to enjoy your phone to it's fullest. Both can create instability and problems if not used carefully.
