The Manage Apps area is part of the Settings Menu Set where all installed Android Apps are listed.  It can be found by pressing Menu, and Manage Apps, or by pressing Menu, Settings, Applications, and Manage Applications.  Apps you install can be removed from the Manage Apps screen.  Apps that come with your phone, or pushed by your carrier, sometimes cannot be removed from here without hacking the phone to gain root access.  Use Manage Apps to help manage storage, memory usage, and security.  There are certain types of spy apps and malware that can hide from the Manage Apps list, however, most all apps will be listed here.=== Multitasking ===In Microsoft Windows users are familiar with the ability to press ALT-TAB and quickly switch between one open application to another without having to close either one.  On an Android device users can switch between open applications too by holding down "Long Press" the Home icon/button.  Press and hold the Home button for about two seconds, see the list of recent running apps, scroll up and down the list and touch on any of the recent apps to jump to that app.
