One solution when your PDA slows down is to reset (reboot) and the another is to use cleanRAM. cleanRAM is an amazing utility which helps you to clean up the wasted RAM memory without having to restart the device and eventually saves a lot of time.
cleanRAM is a very useful tool for Windows Mobile devices. cleanRAM lets you with a single click release part of the RAM on your PDA and accelerating in this way.
cleanRAM is a memory reclaimer similar to Oxios but with advanced settings and actually works! Great solution for the Windows Mobile memory leak problem.
cleanRAM attempts to release as much memory as possible. It'll refresh/recover your device RAM. This can save you a lot of SOFT RESET!
