I believe the MotoQ is a Windows Mobile device so can run applications simultaneously, all using RAM at the same time; the Palm OS does not work that way, so no need to shut down background apps. Now there are apps that run in the background on a Palm OS like certain email programs and Pocket Tunes, but you choose that option by checking or unchecking something.
