iPhone developer John Casasanta of tap tap tap has found that the 256MB of RAM found in the iPhone 3GS, double that of the iPhone and iPhone 3G’s 128MB, can actually provide up to nine times the available memory. Using the $1 application Memory Status, Casasanta found that the 3GS had 156 MB of memory available after startup compared to just under 40MB on the 3G, but that after opening, using, and quitting a group of several apps—including Safari, which stays open—the difference was increased, with the 3GS offering 122MB of available memory to just 13MB on the iPhone 3G.

CopyTrans Manager link does say FREE, but when you click on it, you get transfered to the CopyTrans Suite page which also states free… The catch is that when you read the instructions and look further on their websites, you notice that you are getting trials. Their product is commercial and not free.

BEWARE!!!! I have a 1st gen iPhone, and a mac at home that I sync with. I used CopyTrans and CopyTrans Manager on my work Windows PC, no problems. Until I went home to sync with the Mac. iTunes crashed the second it tried to sync with my phone. After wasting a weekend blogging and trying all sorts of remedies, the ONLY solution was to do a compete restore of my phone. BEWARE!!!!!
