hhehe.. yeah.. that makes sence, i guess you could check if the function
returns NULL? i guess everyone was assuming it works fine. put that
check in and you should be fine :>
as for ram? you can only install 3.5 on devices with flash, and at the
moment - ALL have at least 2Megs of ram :>
i do not think palm or anyone else would be crazy enough to release a
new device with anything < 8Mgs these days :> as for the heap, i think
the OS initializes it on startup. so if you have a 8Meg device, it will
research XXXXKb for the heap from day one the device is turned on. you
will not be able to write over this :> - it is exactly the same for
existing devices..
ie: a 2Meg (2048k) device reporting 1920k free on a RAW install.
cheers.
