Is your application storage near the limit?

I started having the same issue with Dolphin HD and Open Home 2 and even after deleting and reinstalling it still happened. I stabilized the system by removing an extra 6MB app. I still get the "limited storage" Icon but (so far) no more crashes.

The way I got there was that after ending my preliminary testing, I cleared out the IQ and started to reload apps for the "production" configuration, starting with the largest and finickiest (Coolreader), then adding the larger, less finicky one, and adding the tiniest games and utilities for last. Seemed reasonable since it seems it uses program install space (beyond what the app consumes) to unpack the apks.

My best guess is that it also uses it for temporary files so that it is actually possible to install so many apps the device becomes unusable without receiving any meaningful warning. With Dolphin, you can redirect the cache to the SD card (I have) but SlideMe doesn't offer such an option that I can see.

As I've said before: I am *not* impressed by the design of Android as an OS. Like most Google consumer software it is downright mediocre.
As an ecosystem for portable devices it is adequate solely because it is broadly supported by quality apps but the core OS is architected like something out of the 80's. I understand it was designed for cellphones but that is no excuse, other small-footprint OS designers have known to design for hardware expansion.
The IQ is looking to be a good useful product but I'm starting to see why most low-cost Android tablets have such bad reputations: it's not the hardware or the vendor; it Android that's at fault. The thing is a minefield of glitches and bugs just waiting to happen.
