I've been having trouble with the storage on my HTC with it complaining that I was critically low on storage space. The "Find files bigger than 64k" search was useless.
When I went into IE and cleared up the cache though, I suddenly had 20Mb of my 32Mb storage free.
Now is this HTC's problem for somehow not configuring Mobile IE to have a reasonable cache size that isn't likely with the default configuration to trigger these critical warnings (default storage usage + 1/2 IE cache > total storage) - or is it IE's fault
for not letting this be a configurable value? Why does Pocket IE not let me set the size of the cache, am I going to have to go in and clear it down every X days manually?

Indeed, it's a vestige from PocketPC 2000 days (it may have been around in CE2.0 too) when devices had 16MB of RAM (for both storage and memory).

Because, let's face it, Pocket IE is maintained by a skeleton crew of devvies in MS, it's an embarrasement for the Windows Mobile platform and should have been euthanised back in PocketPC 2003SE.
And I can't see how they're going to port Trident V to WM, they should cut their losses and license Opera or start from scratch or something.

What I did for my device was moved the default location of the IE Cache/History onto my SD card.
