I can't comment on what resource limits will be in future SDK's or the
1.0 platform release specifically, but if your application shouldn't
use this much memory.

If you consider the general expectation is that Android devices may
have as little as 64MB of total memory, you are talking about using
one quarter of it! Keep in mind that Android doesn't have swap space
like desktop machines. On top of this, by the time Android is fully
loaded on a 64MB device only 10-20MB of RAM will probably remain.* So,
essentially your application would use all system resources.

Cheers,

*When its available you can watch Dan Bornstein's "Dalvik VM
Internals" talk from Google I/O 2008 where he talks about some general
Android resource considerations.
