The memory they speak of as being too small, is similar to the RAM memory in your pc.
If needed, you can normally upgrade the RAM in your PC when upgrading your pc operating system. e.g. 1Gb ram -> 2Gb ram when upgrading from WinXP to Win7. Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade this memory on the pulse.
So 2.1 will probably run OK on the pulse, but multitasking will cause a drastic reduction in usability (speed).
Thanks for that; but prior to 2.2 are apps stored in RAM or is there integrated flash memory? For example, I understand that my HTC Desire had roughly half a gig of RAM and half a GIG of ROM (flash?).
