I've got a thing about RAM-resident memory hogs too, and like Ricky, I really, really want apps liks ShoZu to simply work. But guru Ricky tells it like it is and points out that it's simply not acceptable to hog multiple megabytes of RAM, no matter how clever the functionality. Surely there's a way to simply leave a tiny stub process in RAM, like Handy Weather, and leap into RAM when needed?
"Ok. So I first said they were going down the tubes, then retracted the statement with the N76, and now, less than 48 hours back on my N95, I've deleted ShoZu, and I'm missing it hard-core. If you're thinking, "Ricky, seriously, come on already," you're absolutely right. Only you shouldn't be directing that towards me. You should be directing that towards ShoZu. What?Ok, here's the skinny. I LOVE SHOZU. ShoZu allows me to truly enjoy my technology and use it to enable and enrich real life. It's that simple, and that's exactly what technology should be doing. With ShoZu on my device, I can easily and without doing a thing snap photos and have them upload to Flickr, Facebook and Twango, and just about any other online photosharing site I wish. Not bad. "
