It seems as though there are some issues with the app running out of memory very quickly. This could be due to a few reasons:

* ImageCache - it's been recently revised, but no formal memory profiling has been done.
* Sync framework holding onto too much data
* a queue of items to sync that's bogging everything down
* Some bitmaps being generated somewhere, but not being recycled.

To reproduce:

1. Browse an itinerary (eg "food around MIT")
2. open a cast, view thumbnails
3. close cast
4. open another cast, view thumbnails
etc.

5. runs out of memory fairly quickly on HTC Wildfire S
