Rafe Blandford from AllAboutSymbian and AllAboutWindowsPhone takes a look at what proportion of apps are actually incompatible with 512MB RAM devices.

331 apps are not compatible with 512MB devices. Games make up the most of this category (65). Interestingly, 199 of the 331 apps come from two developers alone. Rafe says, “Excluding the results of these two developers would give an incompatibility percentage of just 0.088% (less than one in a thousand apps).”
An odd thing some have noticed through is that despite the 1GB RAM limit, games still played perfectly fine according to user reports on 512MB RAM devices. (Perhaps there’s some other long term performance limitation imposed by MS).So it’s mainly games that might swing a user from putting in a little more for a 1GB RAM device – at least so they don’t have to wait for developers to optimise their games for 512MB.
The situation of specification based app incompatibility is an issue found in BlackBerry and Android devices too. In the case of Android, they do however counter that by having a greater number of available apps.
