You can use "adb shell dumpsys memoryinfo" to see more details information about app memory usage.
Note that Running Services (especially starting with Gingerbread) is showing the aggregate of your process and any processes you are causing to keep around. Look at the details to see if there are other processes involved, and it should say why they are needed. Or it could just be that you have allocations elsewhere -- for example I think DDMS only shows the Java heap in its main view. If you have a lot of native allocations (bitmaps, web view, etc) then they may not show up there.
