i think there are some excellent points on both sides (for 2GB and 4GB), but everyone else is completely irrational.
No I like your idea, I'm working out some issues with my HDMI recorder as it doesn't like 720p coming from the devboard... but I could do a test with Audacity, when I get my setup working.... and what was wrong with my example? I used a third-party calculator to verify the ballpark. Not practical then? I suppose if you're not an audio guy. I do recall someone using the Pandora for mixing or dj'ing. Not going to dig up the thread.I'm still waiting for a use case for larger memory sizes that isn't based on totally misunderstanding the 'free memory' display and/or assuming amounts of CPU power that the Pyra simply won't have.
And by the way, my reasoning is not fear-driven. I also don't think Pandora-lovers need a lecture on the importance of battery life, just the page-by-page reminder should suffice.
EDIT: I'm feeling that this thread has devolved, given the lack of data I suppose that's the only way it could go. I will kindly step out.

Has anyone used Eclipse?
Well I did Netbeans a long while ago... https://boards.openpandora.org/topic/17295-what-would-you-like-to-see/?page=6#comment-365941Has anyone used Eclipse?
Oh yeah, that'd be a good test. It can easily suck up a GB of RAM and demand more.
I'm of the opinion that a multi-core processor with little RAM is not very useful - I'd like to have as much RAM as is feasible, because I want to use the thing for compiling too.
A single 32 bit Java process will not use more than 2GB (at least the 32 bit JVM versions I have experience with will crash rather sooner than later if trying to use heaps significantly larger than 1G), but running several of them, e.g. the IDE and the application server, can obviously use much more memory.
I would have thought the Pyra to be too slow to make that much fun for regular use, but if Wine actually compiles in ~30 minutes it might not be that bad at all. Was that a parallel build?
