The two of you are talking about 2 different things. Although total
dynamic heap size is fixed by the hardware vendor, the amount of available
dynamic memory is not, as it may be affected not only by "hacks", but by
display depth, network driver status, whether any OS upgrades have been
installed, background sound threads on newer models, etc. etc.


Because of this, it is important to test an application with much less
dynamic heap available than the default amount available on a clean idle
handheld after a cold boot.
