I know it's been beaten to death, but on my OG droid I never had close to this many applications running in the background (most of which I have never even opened before). It just seems like a waste of RAM to me to have these constantly running when I didn't even open them. Is everyone else seeing this many running applications when you're using any at all?

Yes i have tons running, 90% i never even started. I'm totally new to smartphones/android, so I don't know what is normal. Doesn't seem to slow the phone down any though.

I use the system monitor widget and my RAM reads between 20-40% idle which isn't bad all things considered. I see about 60-70 system apps running at any one time. Most to all of those are minor things like weather sync or HTC widgets.

If you have widgets on your home screen, they're some of those apps too.
