If you don't like that you can also get memory booster hd they are both good to free some ram up. I run them about twice a day so I don't have to reboot.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah I don't think some are aware that apps stay in memory and don't close by just clicking the home button, you have to open up the app bar and remove it from there.
I've been with the iPod Touch since the 1st generation and I only found out about this a few months ago when my iPod was being laggy.

Ever since I upgraded from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.0 I'm getting two problems:
1. I lost all the album artwork in the Podcast section.
2. I am getting garbling of audio and a LOT of static whenever I play back through my car stereo's USB iPod connection.
I can live with the first, but not with the second. I wonder will I need to do a total Restore from inside iTunes 10.5 and see if that helps. Yes, I'll lose all the audio on the iPod, but will that hopefully fix the audio garbling problem.
(EDIT: I've made a reservation with the Apple Store's Genius Bar at the Arden Fair store in Sacramento, CA and see if they can tell me what happened. I've read that if the circuitry around the Cirrus Logic DAC starts to go bad, you can get the audio distortion problems.

Slow "Lumpy" CoverFlow....
Hi,
I had a similar issue recently with iOS 5.0.1 slowing down my iPhone 4 CoverFlow. Like all others here I too found the Music App in iOS 4.3 almost faultless before this upgrade. However, in my case I found that CoverFlow seemed to be "lumpy" due to large embedded album art. i.e. Pictures tagged in the music MP3s that were larger than the recommended 300x300 pixels. In one case the picture was 2000x2000 pixels before I re-sized it! I suspect that the new CoverFlow is resizing the actual Artwork "on the fly".
After proving my assumption with a few "manual" resizing of selected Artwork. I did a little searching and I came accross this free little tool. Thanks Hot Coffee Software! http://hcware.110mb.com/mp3art/index.htm
It allows embedded art work in MP3s to be resized. The best bit being that it allows "batch" resizing of MP3 art by file or folder. I used the default 250x250 pixels @ 80% and resized some 1500 songs in about 3 minutes by setting the "Add Folder" in Sanse's tool to the root music folder that was being accessed by iTunes. I shut down iTunes before starting the re-size run.
I set iTunes to not sync my music (one check box in iTunes 10) so that all music was cleared from the iPhone before re-syncing. If you don't do this, you may get errors as iTunes tries to "merge" new data to your music files. It's only a small issue here, because I then re-synced after resizing the MP3 art.
Although not a perfect solution, it made my CoverFlow in iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 considerably faster and smoother.
I hope this helps until the Apple techies solve this issue.
