I think you make a lot of good points, but this one isn't really accurate. The particular Zaurus you own (C700) only has 32MB RAM. Every other model in the line (C750, C760, C780, C1000, C3000, C3100) has 64MB RAM. The reason your Zaurus runs out of memory is because it's kind of the lemon of the bunch (sorry).

I recently launched 6 different apps while browsing on my C760. The unit was still very responsive and my memory monitor stayed in the green throughout my browsing session. I have never actually experienced any kind of memory error on my Zaurus.

So, saying memory is a worse problem on a "SL-C7x0" than the Nokia 770 isn't really accurate. It IS a big problem on the SL-C700 in particular, though that unit hasn't been sold for many years.
