Hi,

I was trying to understand/estimate how much memory that is reasonable
to have in a device running Android.

When booting up the system fresh you can see in the emulator that if I
configure the emulator to have 64MB RAM (emulator -qemu -m 64)
available it gives you an available RAM of a few MB, whereas if you
configure the emulator to have 128 MB of RAM it seems to give you just
over 40 MB free aftoot, indicating that the system uses about 80 MB of
RAM after boot. How does this work in the 64MB RAM case, does the
system not start some services or does it use paging to fit into the
small RAM?

I can't seem to locate any good descriptions on how Android works on
this lower level.

Thanks,

-Magnus
