The 1GB is still somewhat limiting but at least the doggy lag and slow cold boot performance has been eliminated.
I understand they are introducing 4GB systems now that should at least perform like a 4.6is or 4.8is with the modern apps. I have a 4GB performance board that I am planning to install into my head unit.
Performance ROMs can be installed which can mod your Android system to even better levels of performance if desired.

Yeah I read some of yours and others posts about the long boot up time with the older units. Fortunately all the ones I've looked at are 2GB but wouldn't mind having 4GB. Less is not always more. Thanks for the info.
