Android App Frees G1 Memory by Wiping Absolutely Everything Useful

January 26, 2009 by Simon Sage - 3 Comments

MemoryUp recently got pulled from the Android Market for supposedly wiping address books and memory cards of many who had shelled out $15 for the Pro version. According to some poking arund by community coders, even when the app doesn’t totally bork your G1, it does a poor job of clearing memory anyway. This may be the unfortunate reality of Android’s open source philosophy – the Market could continue to host faulty or poorly-done applications because everyone has the power to write one. User reviews can be faked, and heavy policing is not only impractical, but counter Android’s vision. Has anyone had the misfortune of trying out MemoryUp? Feel free to comment with your horror stories.
