| 1117411 | 2010-07-09 11:10:00 | Umm Billy, The Google Nexus1 has the same features. Too be truly safe I suggest you go back to the trusty two cans and a piece of string | plod (107) | ||

Unsure about the accuracy of the "It saves a screenshot every time and keeps it logged" for the Maps ... If you're a developer, it'd make sense for it to cache a small amount of the maps, so when you re-open it, the map application won't have to download a screen full of data (It would just make it "appear" faster basically), but it's pointless caching every single exit screen, not to mention a waste of space. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 1117414 | 2010-07-09 23:42:00 | What if someone ties another can to your string, calls hacked. nothing is safe. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

Perhaps it's a file system thing, where it saves it in a different location every time instead of directly overwriting the previous exit screen. It wouldn't be a waste of space as the space would be marked free - but if the phone wasn't full of data there would be gigabytes of space for 'deleted' things to reside. That's just pure guesswork and I don't know why it would possibly work that way, but it is entirely plausible. |
