It is definitely not going up for the current class of hardware, which is already under pretty significant memory pressure. It will definitely go up on certain kinds of higher-end hardware -- for example, if one were to imagine a device with a higher-density/resolution screen, this would require larger graphics, so you'd want more overall RAM and a higher limit per app to account for the extra space requirements. Another driver would probably be the camera -- if one increases to say an 8MP camera, apps would need more memory to be able to do anything with such images. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
