[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1549979, member: 71075"] Not quite. Memory is released when an app is closed but it's allocated as inactive memory which can be freed at a moment's notice. Thus, memory isn't consumed completely since, it could be argued, that inactive memory is, for all intents and purposes, free memory. So, if all of your memory is being used up over time, it sounds like you've either got a leak or you've got too many apps open. [/QUOTE]
