OS7 App memory is still Partitioned
8 gigs of device memory is again limited to media and document storage. Looks like only approx. 500 megs can be utilized for apps. Based on the latest screen shots provided in the new Torch video thread, looks like after the OS is fully loaded in, there is about 250 megs of app space left.
I know that CB Kevin and an army of others have been calling for RIM remove the parrtition as app space is far more important than segregated media storage.
I'm dissapointed. There is a saying amongst many that actions speak louder than words. In my opinion, while RIM is now saying they get it, and understand the current marketplace and want to deliver a modern device, and build up BB App world with feature rich applications and Open GL games; their decision to segregate memory - limiting application memory to about 500 megs, says differently.
Now, I've heard from others this was not the case, that the partition was removed. But the only evidence I have seen, says the partition is still up.
I think this is a colossal mistake. What do you think?
