User limitations

Since your channel's Maximum Channel Size setting is under your control, why not just specify our channel's default maximum size to be 500KB, or whatever size ensures that all your channel's pages will always fit, and not have to worry about the Maximum Channel Size issue ever again?

There are a couple of good reasons to keep your channel size as low as you can:

  • First, if people see your channel's maximum size is 500KB or higher, they will be less likely to add it to their device in the first place.
  • Second, a user's AvantGo account is limited to a maximum of 2MB of channel data (unless they have purchased additional capacity). And we measure that by adding up the maximum size settings of all the channels. This means that if a user already has 1600KB of channels, and they try to add your 500KB channel, the AvantGo service will not let them.
