Wanting more than 512mb ram is in very bottom of my list.
In N900 I nowadays can have C++(native), python, bash and Java-applications running simultanously and it can be very RAM consuming.

I do not know is Android capable running normal Java programs, Python and native ones. With J2Android MIDP-programs can be converted to Dalvik. But (if) running just Dalvik executables, lots of memory is saved or used efficiently as only one virtual machine which has all the needed software libraries is always partly in the RAM memory.

N900 (or future Meego devices) having Python, Gtk, Qt and Java software libraries and environments active all the time could easily benefit more than 512 MB RAM.
