this is a very logical analysis, one that can and should be extended to the
relationship between memory size and other technical parameters like color
resolution, polyphonic tones, number of java applets etc. similar analyses
can also be done for the relationship between processing speed and java
applet size, color resolution etc. Has anyone done this type of analysis
and if so would they be willing to share their analysis with the keitai
list? alternatively, please contact me offline as I am trying to do this
kind of analysis.
