Closing open apps on iPad 2.

I am trying to close down my open applications on my iPad2. I know you have to hit the home button twice to see what ones are open. How do you close them down?

Not quite true.


The apps you see are not open, they are recently used.


There should be no need to do anything but hit the home button once to exit an app. Very few apps run on the background and the ios manages those.


If you really feel the need, you can hold an icon until they all wiggle, then hit the "-" in the corner, but again, there is really no need to do this.
