Came across this interesting post on the 123MB of Ram in the Apad:

You only have 65MB left because all applications are installed into the 128MB. Just install a few more and see it go down even more. The manufacturer claims on their website that applications are installed onto the SD card, but that is not the case. I guess we will have to wait until we can get Root on this device and use A2SD ourselves.
