External Storage - Motorola ET1 Integrator Manual

The operating system manages how applications use RAM. It only allows applications and component
processes and services to use RAM when required. It may cache recently used processes in RAM, so they
restart more quickly when opened again, but it will erase the cache if it needs the RAM for new activities.
To view the amount of free and used memory, touch Menu > Settings > Applications > Running Services.

from when the ET1 is connected to a host computer. Some applications are designed to be stored on the
