No, they're not "designed" to run on your phone. They're WM5 apps that work on WM6.1 if you have significant free memory. Which the mogul does not. I know they're memory hogs, you do, other people do too. Why would you expect them to work when you know exactly how much free memory you have and how much they consume?
Get rid of both of them and see how it goes.
But we're far afield now. I like the "vista on a 512mb machine" analogy. It's much closer to correct (or its the same as my "1gb linux box" one.) On a mogul you give up Today eye candy for more memory/stability.
You can stuff an elephant into a phone booth, but it's not going to work well.
stroths, as you use any WM, more of the internal buffers are allocated until it finally allocates all of them - at that point (barring memory leaks) your free memory after exiting all apps should be stable/consistent. If that "working set" free memory is too low, you can lower the settings for your various buffers to free some up (you'll need a soft reset, of course...)
I found that moving from WM5 to WM6 to WM6.1 it was necessary to dial down the various buffers we all learned to crank up on the apache to keep the free memory around 18mb on my stock rom.
So I think we've reached consensus - I don't know what I'm talking about, like to slap people in the face, and am generally un-knowledgeable about the device I use and develop on daily. Yep, 4x the memory is going to solve every ill, and might even fix the economy. We're saved!
