Default How Windows Mobile Deals with Low Memory

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/08/16/702746.aspx

"The Windows Mobile 5 shell runs a low memory check routine periodically (on Pocket PC this is done every 5 seconds, on Smartphone its 30 seconds) and assesses the state of the system memory. The routine will check to see if any action is required to keep a reasonable amount of memory free (the OEM ultimately decides what a reasonable amount is). Additionally, the kernel also monitors the amount of memory available and will nudge the shell whenever free memory drops below a certain threshold."

Here's another interesting post from the Windows Mobile Team Blog, especially if you're a developer working with Windows Mobile. Even if that's not the case for you, I think you'll find this article offers an interesting look at what goes on inside your device to help ensure that you don't run out of memory. Now, if only there was something that could be done with Pocket IE's Cache limits. :?
