## Abstract

A method and system for managing one or more memory resources of a wireless handheld computing device is described. The method and system may include receiving a request to initiate a web browser module and receiving input for a web address. The method and system may also include receiving a file corresponding to the web address and reviewing one or more objects present within the file. The method and system may determine if an object already exists in the one or more memory resources. And if the object does not exist in the one or more memory resources, then the method and system may calculate a priority for the object. The priority of the object may then be assigned and stored. It may also be determined if the current object will exceed the threshold of the one or more memory resources, and discarding other objects with lower priority as needed.
