If ROM is read only how can some be allocated to user? Is it only partially writable, what? Why is this even necessary? What is on the RAM at purchase that makes it important? Is the use of ROM just another meaning for solid state hard drive? --[[Special:Contributions/72.64.105.184|72.64.105.184]] ([[User talk:72.64.105.184|talk]]) 03:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC) |

The ROM is where the operating system is installed -- I believe its only available to be written to when the device is being installed, i.e. its Read Only to the OS. More ROM means later (and larger) versions of Android are supported. Earlier phones (specifically the G1 and G2) have issues because they don't have enough ROM for later versions of Android (the 2.* version). |

ROM available to user?
If ROM is read only how can some be allocated to user? Is it only partially writable, what? Why is this even necessary? What is on the RAM at purchase that makes it important? Is the use of ROM just another meaning for solid state hard drive? --72.64.105.184 (talk) 03:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Not really ROM per se, just Read Only to the OS
The ROM is where the operating system is installed -- I believe its only available to be written to when the device is being installed, i.e. its Read Only to the OS. More ROM means later (and larger) versions of Android are supported. Earlier phones (specifically the G1 and G2) have issues because they don't have enough ROM for later versions of Android (the 2.* version).
RAM is storage for applications. More RAM = more apps. The SD card is only for media.

GIF Format
A minor gripe, but I'd like to see a mention of whether Animated GIF is supported. It's been poorly supported in some previous Android phones. It's a tough thing to categorize, the Android framework plays them as video. There are basically 2 issues, how they are treated in pages viewed in the browser, and how they are treated by native apps. If they are treated as static images, only displaying the first frame, that does not count as supporting the format. 74.115.216.130 (talk) 00:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
