About 450K, but that's with virtually no packages loaded. Each package
you install eats into heap, even when it's not in use (unless it's frozen).

About 150, if memory serves _ again with nothing loaded.

Depends on what you want to do. You can get by with very little for word
processing. Internet apps like to have heaps of heap. 100K is a good number
to think of as an absolute minimum _ more is better though. I have about
310K of heap free on my 2100 and 120K free on my eMate.

Same as for 2100

Avi's backdrop.

Avi's replaces notes as the backdrop and uses less heap. It also allows
you to reclaim unreleased heap with a tap.

The 2100 has the most heap. The 130 is next, followed by the 2000 and
eMate. The extra heap in the 2100 makes a BIG difference.
