Your profile link to the Android book indicates that you know what you're talking about.

As someone who has a decent grasp on the lifecycle part, could you sprinkle the other two points with a link or two? Or .. a general direction? "Enough to know the limitations" for example is .. hard to follow-up on.

The limitations of AsyncTask are hard to put in two sentences. It starts with AsyncTask referring to an Activity. Now let's say you create a configuration change by rotating your device, and the Activity you had is destroyed. There begins the tale of woe.
