Low Internal Memory

[dLish]

I have installed about 18 apps so far and noticed that I only have 29 MB left of internal memory? I though the G1 had something like 256 MB of internal memory. Even with the preloaded apps, I would think I should have way more than 29 MB left of internal memory. All my apps are way below a meg, except for my Browser (13 MB) & Market (7 MB). Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have installed 72 apps so far and 20MB space left. I don't know why you have so little bit left. cuz even if you clean up your browser cache it's only gonna clean less than 13MB that you have.

plus I only get that low memory notice maybe once or twice a week.

Clearing the cache did gain me 10 MB (thanks!), but I feel like there should still be way more available.

I only have 7 apps and I'm down to 36 . I had 57yesterday but I got the RC29 update this morning. could that be it?

I read on the google forums that there is a "security issue" with loading apps onto the SD Card. That was posted by one of the google admins but they didn't really specify what the issue was. It seems odd since Windows Mobile allows you to save directly to the sd card.

The Android operating system itself, along with the preloaded applications do indeed take up most of the allotted 256MB of memory. For reference, compare your size of your desktop operating system to a regular application on it, i.e. browser, music player.

but still, how come I have 72 apps and still have 20mb space? I thought everybody's like that. but I see some people here only have few apps and less space? why?
