Memory capacity question

[xda-newuser]

Hi All,
I just wonder why most of PDAs including Hermes have a very little RAM. Is it because the memory for PDA is very expensive or because of something else? I don't mind to pay an extra $100 if they can increase the RAM to at least 1G. iPhone can have 8G, why can they made 1G PDA :confused:

hi mate...u can use 8Gb micro sdhc on your hermes you know...why pay extra 100$ for 1G???and with my experience, a memorycard + card reader is WAY FASTER than any internal memory...cheers....

Some of applicantions can not run in sd card or run faster if you install in internal memory. 64MB is too small. The latest HP iPAQ 110 still only has 64MB. Is there a reason why they can not increase the memory?

Note that the iPhone's 4/8Gb is storage, equivalent to the memory card slot on a PDA (which the iPhone doesn't have).

Several iPhone hacking sites put the actual RAM at 128Mb, which more than a few PDA's and smartphones already have.

They (HTC) and they will do it. Its just a matter of economics. They will increase the memory to get you to buy a new PPC.
