Persistence means your application can save data across sessions.
Example: Your application let's the user enter which books he likes.
When the user closes his browser and logs into Orkut and pulls up your
application again a few days later he doesn't want to enter the books
again, but expects that the application "remembered" them. That's what
you use the persistence stuff for. Docs:

An Activity is a way of letting your friends know about something you
did ("Peter just added a new Book named "No Country For Old Men"").

I hope this helps.
