My biggest problem is Program Memory. Guess this really can't have anything done about it since the Mogul starts out without inadequate memory once I have everything running and my pocket Outlook with 1300 contacts in it. Then I like to use WisBar and WisBar Desktop. They only take about 1 MB but there goes some more. By the time I add weather and maybe a PIM I'm down to 12 or so available Program memory.


That wouldn't be so bad IF...I wasn't using iGuidance for my GPS.

What my problem is is that iGuidance needs ALOT of RAM (manual suggests 20MB be available when it is started) and therefore I really can't run my GPS when I have my Mogul configured the way I want. Besides, with iGuidance I have to OPEN GPS with another program and then operate GPSGate to translate. Basically I guess I'm screwed on 6.1 and I'll just have to go back to 6.0.

I have done some experiments with the latest 2.2.6 (that I'm running now) and basically the memory problem breaks down like this:

I start out with about 20.5MB when I first flash. Once I add my sync with my Exchange Server I go down to about 18.5MB (I guess all the contacts take up Program Memory).

Then there is Voice Command that takes another 2.5 or so and I'm at 16.5MB. Then there is WisBar, WisBar Desktop, MarsWeather, and a PIM Today that end up taking another 2-2.5MB so I'm down to 14 or so. This is all on a fresh reset. With some memory leak even using Oxio I'm running aroung 12.5 or so before I try to use iGuidance and then it all crashes down.

I'd be willing to pass up this 6.1 2.2.6 snappy performance for more RAM. Guess I'll have to wait for the PPC7000!
