First of all, true multitasking (having multiple apps run) requires a faster CPU, so that all the processes can run at a decent speed. You are right that for all these apps to remain in memory, you need more RAM. I have 512 MB RAM, and my processes only start getting killed if I run something that uses a ton like Angry Birds. On the other hand I have a 1 GHz processor and I never notice slowdowns regardless of what Im doing (apart from Angry Birds bogging itself down during long plays). If youre doing email, Twitter, Facebook, web, etc. then you probably want more RAM. If you want to play games then you need a decent amount of RAM, but the processor and graphics chip is going to be more important. In general. Another important consideration is I/O speed. If you have a Samsung phone that uses RFS, install an EXT4 lagfix — youll notice a huge improvement. If youre recording HD video you may want a faster SD card (we have questions about that), and so on. Storage size is largely unrelated to performance, but youll want to consider that as well. Many users kick themselves after installing a few apps and finding that theyve run out of space. I highly recommend a device like my Vibrant, which has an excessive 2 GB internal (system+data) storage (and 14 GB internal SD, plus the external SD card).
