Hi I'm trying to understand why the heap size of a single application is so small.
I mean, there are phones with limited RAM, and the heap size is about 16mb. Small but not so bad..... The new devices and even the motorola XOOM with 1GB RAM, is limited to 48mb of heap space. What the hell were they thinking?, They really expect that i will open 21 simultaneous applications? I'm also a iOS developer, and 48mb was about the memory limit of IPHONE first gen. , that was 4 years ago!! ( and the iphone had 128mb ) I know a lot of people will say that i can use NDK, mmap, texttures.... but hey, why? if i can use more ram using the NDK, why the limit in java heap? Now ( using the NDK ) i will need to put a extra layer of complexity ( libraries, leaks, plataforms, armv5, armv7, debugging... etc ) to do something that should be very simple.
