tap Memory Info.
A slip appears showing you the amount of internal memory

Changing the backdrop
The backdrop is the default application, or background, you
see when you close all other applications. When you first
receive your MessagePad, the backdrop is set to the
Notepad. You can change the backdrop—for example, if
you use a specific application, such as Name File, more than
the Notepad.
When you make an application other than the Notepad the
backdrop, a Notes icon n appears in the Extras Drawer that
you use to access the Notepad.
If you need to reset your MessagePad for any reason by
tapping the Reset button, the backdrop does not change. If
you do a hard reset (erasing all of the information on your
MessagePad), the backdrop reverts to the Notepad.
