    How much FREE main memory does your crashing phone still have? Not
    storage memory, the RAM it uses to do things like run apps, etc.

    A 16GB iPhone DOESN'T have 16GB of RAM, far from it.

    I had crashing problems in the Nokia N800 until I figured out Maemo
    Mapper was storing a thousand map tiles in operational memory. I had to
    go through all the Map repositories I have loaded onto it and tell all
    of them to use slower SDHC memory to store the maps, not the main
    memory. No crashing since then, but I keep a close eye on where new
    apps store data files by default.

    I suppose you'd need root access to view the XML file. I assume the

    Your wife and kids don't use much memory as they don't have near as many
    apps as Dad does loading it down. Dad's crashes. Their's doesn't. It
    may be simply running out of memory at the crash.

    I agree its unusual. Is your iphone jailbroken by chance or running native

    Larr is right ...16 gig is total storage ....or about 14 gig free after the
    OS takes
    it's chunk for internal apps, etc.
    For RAM, every search is different, but appears to be around the 128 meg
    total,
    with around 80-90 meg left

    Many men fantasize, some at great profit like John Norman, of a "better
    way".

    If you've never read the Chronicles of Gor series of books and shared
    them with a female inclined to a little fantasy game play....you simply
    haven't lived, yet. Try it....(c; Read each chapter together!

    Ask your public librarian if she has the Chronicles of Gor. Watch the
    telltale look on her face CONFIRMING she has read them....(c; Women
    love them....even the librarians with those little eyeglass chains
    around their necks.

    Need a date for this weekend? Read Gor novels in plain sight in any
    public place, even the library. I never met a woman who I'd want to
    sleep with that didn't at least know what they were...(c;

    You don't look like any of the Tarnsmen in the books, so keep the lights

    I don't know of a single app on a Windows PC, the standard business
    instrument in 99% of the desks in any company not associated with Apple,
    that cannot access any other file on that computer.

    It has served us very well! My email program can email the spreadsheet any
    place I want! It can send any document Word created, too!

    What stupid purpose is served by locking every file to ONE SPECIFIC
    application? Are we gonna SELL it to them later on? Why would Apple do
    such a stupid thing? There must be a reason, right??

    You don't really believe that an Apple OS with all this graphics and glitz
    fits in 38MB, do you? That would be simply amazing.

    Flash RAM is too slow even for these little processors to use, directly.

    I think I read that 128MB is correct, and a very good reason why you only
    run one app at a time.

    Device memory in the N800 is only 249.5 MB. My memory manager app shows
    169.8MB in use at bootup with 79.7MB available to run Linux apps, which are
    very small in comparison to Mac or Win apps.

    I reserve 128MB of the internal SDHC card for "virtual memory", sort of
    like Windows does on a C: hard drive. If it ever uses it, the thing crawls
    like lumbering bus.

    My system at bootup with only the desktop apps running in background shows:

    Sure it does- it's a phone OS, not a desktop. Keep in mind we used to run
    Windows 95, a fully multitasking OS on PCs with 64MB or less of RAM!

    My 64MB HTC Wizard WM5 device used about 35MB at boot for the OS, and had
    30 le t for apps, and could run several at a time- most phone apps are
    relatively small, using 1MB or less a piece. Media players and browsers
    are an exception, taking several MB each or more.

    > Device memory in the N800 is only 249.5 MB.


    That's pretty impressive for such a small portable. RAM eats power, which
    is why most smartphones keep it between 32-128MB.

    My Tilt, running WinMo 6 has 128MB with about 80MB available at boot.

    That's a lot of stuff running on a fairly simple device.

    I think the difference is that your tablet is essentially running a small
    desktop Linux OS ported for ARM processors, whereas the WinMo and iPhone
    devices have smartphone OS' built ground up to have a small(ish) footprint.

    Ultimately stability, speed and battery life.

    There is no multi-tasking or memory residency for applications, they
    live and die by the one button on the unit. Because of that rule, they
    can also make sure that one application is never going to look through
    the entrails left by a previous one - a common means of an attack if you
    look at desktop security exploits.

    Keep asking the questions ;-)

    Some manufacturers assume when you buy a very expensive complex piece of
    equipment you have half a clue what you're doing or can figure/research
    it yourself. Clearly when acquiring a wife (or civil partner if that's
    you're bag baby) the same assumption is made.

    Research can be fun though.
