If you frequently find yourself short of memory on your Windows Mobile device (Pocket PC or Smartphone) make sure to check out Oxios Memory. This free software app lets you free as many system resources as possible on your mobile device with a click of a button. There are two apps in Oxios Memory:

1. Oxios Hibernate

2. Oxios CloseApps : Oxios CloseApps closes terminates all running applications and releases allocated memory. That’s quite similar to the ‘Close’ command in the Windows Task Manager.
