Mikecomputing,

Looks like you need a reading lesson because you keep spouting the same old about inefficient code when the two examples I gave you were of the system apps! Want more? Open 9 windows on grob, minimise them, receive a phone call and at the end of the phone call open contacts and attempt a message out. You see the fps dropping during the whole process! Want one more example? Search the forums and see posts of people complaining that when dpkg is installing something, all their running applications (sometimes only one or two are running) get closed. Know why? Because of out-of-memory... Want to keep blaming the poor coding still?


Pichlo, a desktop and a phone are different things. Why do we compare arm and x86 platforms RAM usage when the codes etc are different? Again I am not whining about 1GB of RAM but I am trying to illustrate to all those who keep saying 1GB is more than enough that the previous phone designed by the same team was limited by its RAM certainly and that was 2 years ago.

Now let's compare with the fruit phone. It doesn't have true multi tasking as we know hence it is able to allocate it's RAM usage better to foreground activities but on something like the N9 where you can exploit the full capabilities of the multi tasking OS, more than 1GB of RAM would make a huge difference...
