Yeah 1GB of pure RAM would be awesome... so would be 4GB but 512MB would be enough for now... and for 64GB storage it would be more pricey. So I try to keep it somewhat realistic...
No, 512MB is not enough - Maemo/Meego are the generic Linux and it requires some memory for applications. Simple calculation - browser, gstreamer, e-mail - all may get 100MB+ size easily and add to it pulse/tone generator with slightly less memory. But generic PC has a disk for swap with 50-100MByte/sec write speed and N900 - flash with 19MB/sec write speed. Do you math here. Don't forget X11 and hildon-* apps.
