DanH, I've had a look at the allocations using DDMS. The only things that are being allocated during the game (that I have control over) are Integer.toString and Drawable.setBounds calls.
Also, I calling System.gc() periodically and it logs the time taken to do the collection...It doesn't seem to be increasing with time. I'll try profiling as suggested by Dianne but this is very weird and is holding up my release :( cheers, kk.
