Recovering From My Blackberry’s Meltdown

Bruce Stapley — Fri, 3 Jul 2009 12:15:26 PM -0500

RIM sets aside a fixed amount of the total onboard device memory as application space. This number cannot be adjusted. So for example, my 1-GB-of-device-memory-having 9530 currently shows 860 of 879 MB of device memory free, but I only get 30 MB (at boot; it gets worse as apps run) of free application memory. Especially given that the device came with an 8-GB SD card, I'm unclear on why I can't adjust the size of the app memory pool, but that appears to be the way it is.

I wish this was the next Star Wars movie

Amen...I have a Bold. 1G of system memory and only 5mb of free space.

I have about the same number of apps installed as you do. Ridiculous, especially since I have this 4Gb MicroSD card installed in the thing.

RIM, please get your OS to address free space installed in your devices...please

Alan-Not trying to post an add here, but I would suggest you look at our product -- MyBoxTone ( { Link } )-- that while taking up some space can be very helpful in troubleshooting BB device-related issues w/out needing to consult tech support.

The memory issue pops up ALL the time...even with the newer devices w/ far more than 64mb. When you consider that RIM devotes one of its side buttons to the camera and most people don't have an SD card for their device, you get a lot of pictures of feet taking up all of a device's memory.

I, too, find it ridiculous that there's no "low memory" warning. The only way I found out was that my Blackberry started deleting e-mails to free up space. In addition, 55 MB? They must be joking. I can get an 8GB iPhone for $99. They need to put at least 1GB in this things if they are to be taken seriously. The only reason I deal with it is because my phone and plan are paid for by my employer. Even with that, though, I'm still considering the iPhone.

@1 - Will it always be free? We'll that is the plan, but I can't predict the future. Will it always be current? Yes, it will be the exact same as the paid version.

I'll answer other questions later, as I have to get back to the booth at the Enterprise 2.0 show.

How would a company migrate data to and from Socialtext?

ummmm

Sean Cull — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:57:43 AM -0500

actually, looking at the offerings in more detail although there is the free offer with < 50 users the price break if you want more than one wiki is huge because the minimum pricing on the paid for hosting plan appears to be for a minimum of 50 users i.e if an organisation wanted a wiki per project as an example they need to pay for 50 + users - is that correct ?

Alan,

this is really interesting but before people will start building business plans around it there would need to be some certainty about the roadmap for this offer - e.g. will it always be free ? will it always be to the latest version ?

I wish IBM would do this, maybe they will ook back at your example in several years

Thanks, Sean

I think you've taken this "composite application" concept a bit further than intended....
