I forgot to mention that on the emulator I never had memory trouble even with my older versions: my app would run for over 1,300 iterations without ever crashing whereas the G1 would crash with some OutOfMemoryError within 10 to 20 iterations. However, the camera part is of course very different for emulator and G1, so I cannot exclude the possibility that in my case the main problems originated there since it is now known that G1 camera programming must be done with white gloves. I did and do not have a G1 to look at possible memory leaks on the physical device.
