Hmmm.  Maybe for the G1/Dream, and the 32B Sapphire, which have around 96MB of
available RAM; the 32A Sapphire and (I think all) Hero boards have more.

The available flash store for apps, etc, is identical: 256MB on both Sapphire
32A (Magic, HTC branded) and Hero.

...but, you could be right.  I guess time will tell.  So far it looks likely
that the 2.0 release will run on the Magic, however.
