Well, you have to look at the fact that the program you load will install on device storage memory but will run in program memory. As mentioned by another poster, there are certain programs that must install in main memory and not in storage memory. They typically will run faster in device storage memory. There is approximately 165 megs of device storage memory while there is on 48 megs in program memory. This latter is what we mostly look at to make sure that we can run the programs that are installed in device storage memory.
For instance, a program may take up 5 megs of device storage space but only take up 1 meg to run in program memory.
When you run out of program memory your device will ask you to close a running application or simply lock up.
I hope this helps.
